Source Advisory Statement

### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3px7-jm2p-6h2c. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description encoded_id-rails versions before 1.0.0.beta2 are affected by an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A remote and unauthenticated attacker might cause a denial of service condition by sending an HTTP request with an extremely long "id" parameter.
