62th percentile - higher than 62% of all known CVEs

Summary

The encoded_id-rails library before version 1.0.0.beta2 is affected by an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending an HTTP request with an extremely long "id" parameter.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can overload the server, leading to application unavailability for legitimate users. The lack of required authentication makes the attack easier to execute.

Recommendation

Immediately update the encoded_id-rails library to version 1.0.0.beta2 or later. Also consider implementing parameter length limits at the web server level.
