Rails Debug Mode Enabled

Rails Debug Mode Enabled

Rails debug mode enabled misconfiguration can expose sensitive information, potentially leading to security vulnerabilities.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

The Rails Debug Mode Enabled misconfiguration occurs when the Ruby on Rails framework is configured to run in debug mode, allowing detailed error information to be displayed in responses. This can expose sensitive information, such as full file paths, database details, and stack traces, to potential attackers. By analyzing the debug output, attackers can gain insights into the application's internals and potentially exploit vulnerabilities. This misconfiguration falls under the Security Misconfiguration category and has a low severity level. Disabling debug mode in production environments is essential to prevent information disclosure and enhance the application's security posture.

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL into a variable called "urlVar".

Execute request

The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed and provides the details of the request. In this case, it is a single request that modifies the URL by appending "/cy8Ku20LH6V6Yc0q0pJX" to the extracted URL variable.

Validation

The validation section specifies the expected response payload and defines the conditions that need to be met for the validation to pass. In this template, the response payload is expected to contain the strings "Rails.root:" and "Trace". If both strings are present in the response, the validation will pass.
