Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of [GHSA-543v-gj2c-r3ch](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-543v-gj2c-r3ch). This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description Active Model in Ruby on Rails 4.1.x before 4.1.14.1, 4.2.x before 4.2.5.1, and 5.x before 5.0.0.beta1.1 supports the use of instance-level writers for class accessors, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended validation steps via crafted parameters.
