Description
Addressable is an alternative implementation to the URI implementation that is part of Ruby's standard library. From 2.3.0 until 2.9.1, URI templates with several variables in one expression or several adjacent expressions generate ambiguous regular expressions. Affected forms include multi-variable expressions using operators other than plus and number sign, large plus or number-sign expressions, and adjacent single-variable expressions. Template#match or Template#extract can backtrack polynomially or exponentially on attacker-controlled URIs, causing denial of service on MRI Ruby before 3.2 and JRuby, with the large plus and number-sign form also affecting MRI Ruby 3.2 and TruffleRuby 40.0. URI parsing and Template#expand are unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 2.9.1.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Identify every host running the affected component and compare the installed build against the fixed version below — for source-built or distro-packaged software the version string, not a lockfile, is the source of truth (`dpkg -l`, `rpm -q`, or the binary's own `--version`).
Remediation status
The records we use list no fixed release for CVE-2026-126352. Check the upstream advisory for a patched version, and apply the exposure-reduction steps below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
