Created

Description

This module scans Ruby On Rails sites for models with attributes not protected by attr_protected or attr_accessible. After attempting to assign a non-existent field, the default rails with active_record setup will raise an ActiveRecord::UnknownAttributeError exception, and reply with HTTP code 500.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
