+title: CarrierWave has a denylisted_content_type bypass via
+  Unescaped Regex Metacharacters
+date: 2026-05-27
+description: |
+  ### Summary
+
+  CarrierWave's content_type_denylist check fails to escape regex
+  metacharacters in string entries, causing the denylist to silently
+  not match the content types it is intended to block.
+
+  **Note**: CarrierWave is aware `#content_type_denylist is deprecated
+  for the security reason`, but it still used by developers, and the
+  problem here isn't denylist allows any filetype, and thats not a
+  vulnerability in carrierwave, its an implementation problem in
+  developers using CarrierWave, the problem is its denylist entries
+  are interpolated directly into a regex without `Regexp.quote` or
+  anchoring. The denylist is still useful when developers want to
+  ban specific content types but allow everything else.
+
+  ### Details
+
+  In `lib/carrierwave/uploader/content_type_denylist.rb:57`, string
+  denylist entries are interpolated directly into a regex without
+  `Regexp.quote` or anchoring:
+
+  ```ruby
+  def denylisted_content_type?(denylist, content_type)
+    Array(denylist).any? { |item| content_type =~ /#{item}/ }
+  end
+
+  The entry "image/svg+xml" becomes the regex /image\/svg+xml/ where +
+  is a quantifier meaning "one or more g", not a literal +. This
+  regex never matches the real MIME type "image/svg+xml" which contains
+  a literal +. This is inconsistent with the allowlist implementation
+  at lib/carrierwave/uploader/content_type_allowlist.rb:53-57, which
+  correctly applies both Regexp.quote and a \A anchor:
+
+  rubydef allowlisted_content_type?(allowlist, content_type)
+    Array(allowlist).any? do |item|
+      item = Regexp.quote(item) if item.class != Regexp
+      content_type =~ /\A#{item}/
+    end
+  end
+  ```
+
+  Other affected MIME types include `application/xhtml+xml` and any
+  type containing regex metacharacters.
+
+  Fix: Apply Regexp.quote for string entries and anchor with \A,
+  matching the existing allowlist implementation:
+
+  ```
+  rubydef denylisted_content_type?(denylist, content_type)
+    Array(denylist).any? do |item|
+      item = Regexp.quote(item) if item.class != Regexp
+      content_type =~ /\A#{item}/
+    end
+  end
+  ```
+  ### Impact
+
+  Any application that uses content_type_denylist to block image/svg+xml
+  — the most common use case, specifically to prevent stored XSS — is
+  silently unprotected.
