		jtimberman on March 5, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Github Is Classy I never said this is a security vulnerability in Rails. I said it is a bug (and a serious one). A bug, as you may be aware, is a mistake, fault, failure, problem or other unintended or surprising behavior in software. See updates to my post for some additional clarification. I hope that helps. Thanks for reading!
