Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for ruby-rack.

CVE-2026-25500[0]:
| Rack is a modular Ruby web server interface. Prior to versions
| 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and 3.2.5, `Rack::Directory` generates an HTML
| directory index where each file entry is rendered as a clickable
| link. If a file exists on disk whose basename starts with the
| `javascript:` scheme (e.g. `javascript:alert(1)`), the generated
| index contains an anchor whose `href` is exactly
| `javascript:alert(1)`. Clicking the entry executes JavaScript in the
| browser (demonstrated with `alert(1)`). Versions 2.2.22, 3.1.20, and
| 3.2.5 fix the issue.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
