inspect dependencies for sprockets

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-r4x3-g983-9g48, inspect your project dependencies for Sprockets:

inspect dependencies for sprockets

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sprockets in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.7.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
