Rails 7.2.3.2 (July 29, 2026)

• Disable libvips's unfuzzed image loaders and savers.

  libvips flags some of its loaders and savers as "unfuzzed" or "untrusted", meaning they are only safe for trusted content. Active Storage will call Vips.block_untrusted(true) to disable them while booting. An application that needs a specific loader or saver may re-enable it in an initializer.

  This is a breaking change for applications that process image types with an unfuzzed loader or saver. Variant transformation of BMP, ICO, and PSD attachments will raise Vips::Error, and analysis of these and other types such as SVG, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000, and Netpbm will no longer record width and height. Requesting an unfuzzed output format, typically FITS, JXL, or anything delegated to ImageMagick, will also raise Vips::Error. Attaching, storing, and downloading are unchanged.

  An application seeing Vips::Error raised during image transformation may wish to remove the affected content types from config.active_storage.variable_content_types in an initializer. Active Storage will then treat those attachments as not variable and will not generate variants for them. This most often matters to an application that transforms images during a request rather than in a background job, where the failure surfaces as an error response instead of a failed job.

  Rails.application.config.active_storage.variable_content_types -=
    %w[ image/bmp image/vnd.microsoft.icon image/vnd.adobe.photoshop ]

  Applications using the :mini_magick variant processor will see no change in how their attachments are processed, but the loaders and savers will be disabled process-wide whenever ruby-vips is installed, and the version requirements below will still apply. Such an application may remove ruby-vips from its Gemfile to avoid both.

  The minimum supported version of libvips is now 8.13, and the minimum supported version of ruby-vips is now 2.2.1. These are the earliest versions that are capable of disabling untrusted operations. When ruby-vips is installed and either minimum is not met, Active Storage will raise a RuntimeError while booting rather than run in an unsecurable environment.

• Filter user supplied metadata in DirectUploadController

  [CVE-2026-33173]

  Jean Boussier

• Configurable maxmimum streaming chunk size

  Makes sure that byte ranges for blobs don't exceed 100mb by default. Content ranges that are too big can result in denial of service.

  [CVE-2026-33174]

  Gannon McGibbon

• Limit range requests to a single range

  [CVE-2026-33658]

  Jean Boussier

• Prevent path traversal in DiskService.

  DiskService#path_for now raises an InvalidKeyError when passed keys with dot segments (".", ".."), or if the resolved path is outside the storage root directory.

  #path_for also now consistently raises InvalidKeyError if the key is invalid in any way, for example containing null bytes or having an incompatible encoding. Previously, the exception raised may have been ArgumentError or Encoding::CompatibilityError.

  DiskController now explicitly rescues InvalidKeyError with appropriate HTTP status codes.

• Prevent glob injection in DiskService#delete_prefixed.

  Escape glob metacharacters in the resolved path before passing to Dir.glob.

  Note that this change breaks any existing code that is relying on delete_prefixed to expand glob metacharacters. This change presumes that is unintended behavior (as other storage services do not respect these metacharacters).

• Fix config.active_storage.touch_attachment_records to work with eager loading.

• A Blob will no longer autosave associated Attachment.

  This fixes an issue where a record with an attachment would have its dirty attributes reset, preventing your after commit callbacks on that record to behave as expected.

  Note that this change doesn't require any changes on your application and is supposed to be internal. Active Storage Attachment will continue to be autosaved (through a different relation).

• Fix ActiveStorage::Representations::ProxyController to proxy untracked variants.

• When using the preprocessed: true option, avoid enqueuing transform jobs for blobs that are not representable.

  Chedli Bourguiba

• Prevent ActiveStorage::Blob#preview to generate a variant if an empty variation is passed.

  Calls to #url, #key or #download will now use the original preview image instead of generating a variant with the exact same dimensions.

  Chedli Bourguiba

• Process preview image variant when calling ActiveStorage::Preview#processed.

  For example, attached_pdf.preview(:thumb).processed will now immediately generate the full-sized preview image and the :thumb variant of it. Previously, the :thumb variant would not be generated until a further call to e.g. processed.url.

  Chedli Bourguiba and Jonathan Hefner

• Prevent ::ActiveRecord::StrictLoadingViolationError when strict loading is enabled and the variant of an Active Storage preview has already been processed (for example, by calling ActiveStorage::Preview#url).

  Jonathan Hefner

• Fix preprocessed: true option for named variants of previewable files.

  Nico Wenterodt

• Allow accepting service as a proc as well in has_one_attached and has_many_attached.
