First, I’d like to thank you Aaron for your hard work in handling
security
in rails.
I can’t help but feel that rails is being smacked by
major vulnerability after vulnerability.
Would it at all be helpful to get a kick starter or some fundraiser
started
to get a formal audit underway (Where’s the NSA when you need them) ?

I wonder how much of these vulnerabilities stem from the fact that we
(in
rails) use turing-complete protocols/languages for everything, thus
exposing weird machines.
The Science of Insecurity (2008 CCC) It’s an hour long, but well worth
it-

While I am glad to see these issues fixed, I can’t help but wonder how
many
more vulnerabilities we still don’t know about.
Again, I really do appreciate the attention to detail that Aaron and the
rest of the rails team give to rails.

Respectfully,
Andrew McElroy
