Command injection vulnerability in Ruby Gem sprout 0.7.246
Title: Command injection vulnerability in Ruby Gem sprout 0.7.246
Date: 11/14/2013
Download: http://rubygems.org/gems/sprout, http://projectsprouts.org/
Vulnerability:
The unpack_zip() function contains the following code:
sprout-0.7.246/lib/sprout/archive_unpacker.rb
60 zip_dir =3D File.expand_path(File.dirname(zip_file))
61 zip_name =3D File.basename(zip_file)
62 output =3D File.expand_path(dir)
63 # puts ">> zip_dir: #{zip_dir} zip_name: #{zip_name} =
output: #{output} " =20
64 %x(cd #{zip_dir};unzip #{zip_name} -d #{output})
If the attacker can control zip_dir, zip_name or output then they can =
possibly=20
execute shell commands by injecting shell meta characters as input.=20
PoC:
For example: filename;id;.zip
I contacted the developer a few weeks ago but received no response.
Thanks!
