What is CVE-2016-6317?

The Active Record component in Ruby on Rails versions 4.2.x prior to 4.2.7.1 is susceptible to an improper input validation vulnerability. This issue stems from the handling of parameters between the Active Record and JSON implementations, allowing remote attackers to potentially bypass intended database query restrictions. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by crafting specific requests that lead to NULL checks or trigger missing WHERE clauses, thus impacting the integrity of database interactions.
