Overview

geocoder is a package that provides object geocoding (by street or IP address), reverse geocoding (coordinates to street address), distance queries for ActiveRecord and Mongoid, result caching, and more.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection. sql.rb in Geocoder allows a Boolean-based SQL injection when within_bounding_box is used in conjunction with untrusted sw_lat, sw_lng, ne_lat, or ne_lng data.
