Hmm, this may explain why the vulnerability patched in 3.2.10 was more dangerous than it seemed, eh?

The 3.2.10 announcement provided an example of `Model.find_by_id(params[:id])` as an exploit, but nobody could figure out how you could get a hash with a _symbol_ key into `params[:id]`, which is what it would take for that to be an exploit. So people were confused.

But the pre-3.2.11 exploit, apparently, possibly provides ways to do just that, eh?

That's how this vulnerability came to light. After finding out about the last vulnerability, there was a huge amount of interest in seeing if parameters could be exploited, leading to a number of people simultaneously discovering this flaw.
