Defined in:
lib/action_dispatch/middleware/host_authorization.rb

Overview

This middleware guards from DNS rebinding attacks by explicitly permitting the hosts a request can be sent to.

When a request comes to an unauthorized host, the response_app application will be executed and rendered. If no response_app is given, a default one will run, which responds with 403 Forbidden.
