rails: Active Support is a toolkit of support libraries and Ruby core extensions extracted from the Rails framework
CVE-2026-33176 is fixed in rails on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-33176, released March 24, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
Active Support is a toolkit of support libraries and Ruby core extensions extracted from the Rails framework. Prior to versions 8.1.2.1, 8.0.4.1, and 7.2.3.1, Active Support number helpers accept strings containing scientific notation (e.g. `1e10000`), which `BigDecimal` expands into extremely large decimal representations. This can cause excessive memory allocation and CPU consumption when the expanded number is formatted, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability. Versions 8.1.2.1, 8.0.4.1, and 7.2.3.1 contain a patch.
