# frozen_string_literal: true require "ipaddr" module ActionDispatch # This middleware calculates the IP address of the remote client that is # making the request. It does this by checking various headers that could # contain the address, and then picking the last-set address that is not # on the list of trusted IPs. This follows the precedent set by e.g. # {the Tomcat server}[https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50453], # with {reasoning explained at length}[http://blog.gingerlime.com/2012/rails-ip-spoofing-vulnerabilities-and-protection] # by @gingerlime. A more detailed explanation of the algorithm is given # at GetIp#calculate_ip. # # Some Rack servers concatenate repeated headers, like {HTTP RFC 2616}[https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.2] # requires. Some Rack servers simply drop preceding headers, and only report # the value that was {given in the last header}[http://andre.arko.net/2011/12/26/repeated-headers-and-ruby-web-servers]. # If you are behind multiple proxy servers (like NGINX to HAProxy to Unicorn) # then you should test your Rack server to make sure your data is good. # # IF YOU DON'T USE A PROXY, THIS MAKES YOU VULNERABLE TO IP SPOOFING. # This middleware assumes that there is at least one proxy sitting around # and setting headers with the client's remote IP address. If you don't use # a proxy, because you are hosted on e.g. Heroku without SSL, any client can # claim to have any IP address by setting the X-Forwarded-For header. If you # care about that, then you need to explicitly drop or ignore those headers # sometime before this middleware runs. class RemoteIp class IpSpoofAttackError < StandardError; end # The default trusted IPs list simply includes IP addresses that are # guaranteed by the IP specification to be private addresses.
