TL;DR

When a belongs_to relationship is managed with on_lookup: :relate, the client-supplied lookup value reaches the query filter without being cast to the attribute type. A nested map submitted where a scalar is expected is interpreted as a filter predicate, so an attacker can match a record without knowing its key, and recover that key from the response. The fix casts the lookup value to the attribute type and applies a single-row limit.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you manage a belongs_to relationship with on_lookup: :relate where the lookup value comes from user-controlled input.
