I just tried this on one of my side project sites and it's reporting it as being vulnerable. However I upgraded the site to Rails 3.2.1 last week (and just confirmed that's the version in the bundle). Is there something that would cause a false positive or is my app really still vulnerable?
There is the potential for false positives, but I'd be happy to chat about it - feel free to get in touch either via email at support@tinfoilsecurity.com or in our support chat: http://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/chat
ITYM 3.2.11? 3.2.1 is definitely vulnerable... We had a typo in ours that said 3.2.1 was safe - so sorry about that! Fixing that now. You should upgrade to 3.2.11.
We also are seeing a small group of apps with vulnerable applications even after upgrading to Rails 3.2.11, possibly due to a rogue middleware or other library. Disabling XML parsing entirely is one approach (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5035389) but we'd love to track it down further for everyone's good. Feel free to join us at https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/chat if you'd like.
Aha, well apparently I never merged that commit into my deploy branch, so it was still actually on 3.2.1. That combined with the fact that your page had said 3.2.1 was safe caused my brain to short circuit and not realize that 3.2.11 is what it needed to be on. :) I'll redeploy and check it again, thanks guys!
'bensedat seems to be hellbanned for some reason (Can a mod unhellban? He's definitely not a troll.) Anyway, echoing his comment:
