This changes Gemfile.lock to address something a scan flagged. It is around line 20.

The project pins concurrent-ruby at version 1.3.6, which contains a critical synchronization flaw (CVE-2026-54906). The ReadWriteLock API can be abused to release another thread's write lock or to corrupt the read‑counter, potentially allowing multiple writers to run concurrently or causing ResourceLimitError exceptions. This breaks thread‑safety and can lead to data races, corruption, or denial‑of‑service. Because the issue is exploitable in any environment that uses the lock, the risk is Critical. The fix is to upgrade concurrent‑ruby to version 1.3.7 or newer, where the lock release methods correctly verify ownership.

Updated vulnerable dependencies to versions that fix the reported CVEs while preserving existing constraints.

For reference: rule CVE-2026-54906. Rated critical.

I do not know the codebase, so please check the change fits how the rest of it works. Happy to adjust it or close this if the reasoning is off.


Found with automated scanning (RedGem) and reviewed before opening. If it is not useful, closing it is completely fine.
