Comment on Multiple security vulnerabilities in Railsparent

Comments

I've seen a bunch of companies use rails HTTP basic auth internally.

And it's not that it wasn't caught until now, it's that it wasn't caught before the commit was accepted.

I expect (though I have not looked) that it's old code that wasn't eyeballed for security so much as for consistency and correctness. Once in, it doesn't leave.
