ParameterFilter: strings joined into a regexp should be regexp-quoted

Reported by y_feldblum (at yahoo) | November 30th, 2010 @ 05:04 PM

In the following file/line:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_di...

The ParameterFilter creates a regexp directly from one or more strings joined together.

If the intention is that we (Rails users, application authors) should specify parameter filters using regexps when we want regexp filters and strings/symbols when we want exact matches and blocks when we want custom behavior, then the strings/symbols being used to construct the regexp should be regexp-quoted.

Rather than:

strings.join('|')

use:

strings.map{|s| Regexp.quote(s)}.join('|')

    • Importance changed from “” to “Low”

    Can you submit a patch with test? I guess string should be quoted.
