CVE-2013-6414 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Ruby on Rails versions 3.x prior to 3.2.16 and 4.x prior to 4.0.2. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted HTTP header with an invalid MIME type, leading to excessive memory consumption and a denial of service. While the CVSS score is moderate (5.0), its high EPSS and FAUCET Risk Score indicate a significant potential impact. Although not actively exploited in the wild, a Metasploit module exists, and there is no community discussion or media coverage.
