Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ruby-rack.

CVE-2025-25184[0]:
| Rack provides an interface for developing web applications in Ruby.
| Prior to versions 2.2.11, 3.0.12, and 3.1.10, Rack::CommonLogger can
| be exploited by crafting input that includes newline characters to
| manipulate log entries. The supplied proof-of-concept demonstrates
| injecting malicious content into logs. When a user provides the
| authorization credentials via Rack::Auth::Basic, if success, the
| username will be put in env['REMOTE_USER'] and later be used by
| Rack::CommonLogger for logging purposes. The issue occurs when a
| server intentionally or unintentionally allows a user creation with
| the username contain CRLF and white space characters, or the server
| just want to log every login attempts. If an attacker enters a
| username with CRLF character, the logger will log the malicious
| username with CRLF characters into the logfile. Attackers can break
| log formats or insert fraudulent entries, potentially obscuring real
| activity or injecting malicious data into log files. Versions
| 2.2.11, 3.0.12, and 3.1.10 contain a fix.
