class ActionDispatch::HostAuthorization
This middleware guards from DNS rebinding attacks by explicitly permitting the hosts a request can be sent to, and is passed the options set in config.host_authorization
.
Requests can opt-out of Host Authorization with exclude
:
config.host_authorization = { exclude: ->(request) { request.path =~ /healthcheck/ } }
When a request comes to an unauthorized host, the response_app
application will be executed and rendered. If no response_app
is given, a default one will run, which responds with +403 Forbidden+.
Constants
- DEFAULT_RESPONSE_APP
