CVE-2013-1800 (GCVE-0-2013-1800)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2013-04-09 20:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 15:13
VLAI
Summary
The crack gem 0.3.1 and earlier for Ruby does not properly restrict casts of string values, which might allow remote attackers to conduct object-injection attacks and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) by leveraging Action Pack support for (1) YAML type conversion or (2) Symbol type conversion, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2013-0156.
