Summary

Harden input handling in app/controllers/documents_controller.rb (flagged by semgrep).

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID ruby.rails.security.brakeman.check-unscoped-find.check-unscoped-find
Severity HIGH
Scanner semgrep
Rule ruby.rails.security.brakeman.check-unscoped-find.check-unscoped-find
File app/controllers/documents_controller.rb:45
Assessment Defensive hardening

Description: Found an unscoped find(...) with user-controllable input. If the ActiveRecord model being searched against is sensitive, this may lead to Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) behavior and allow users to read arbitrary records. Scope the find to the current user, e.g. current_user.accounts.find(params[:id]).

Threat Model Context

This controller appears to be publicly accessible. This is a containerized service - vulnerabilities may be exploitable depending on network exposure.

Changes

  • app/controllers/documents_controller.rb

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.


This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
