CVE-2013-0262 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. rack/file.rb (Rack::File) in Rack 1.5.x before 1.5.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.5 allows attackers to access arbitrary files outside the intended root directory via a crafted PATH_INFO environment variable, probably a directory traversal vulnerability that is remotely exploitable, aka "symlink path traversals.". EPSS estimates a 2.95% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
