CVE-2013-0156

Disclosure Date: January 13, 2013
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

active_support/core_ext/hash/conversions.rb in Ruby on Rails before 2.3.15, 3.0.x before 3.0.19, 3.1.x before 3.1.10, and 3.2.x before 3.2.11 does not properly restrict casts of string values, which allows remote attackers to conduct object-injection attacks and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) involving nested XML entity references, by leveraging Action Pack support for (1) YAML type conversion or (2) Symbol type conversion.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is old now and targets old version of Rails. But if you face such an app it’s really easy to get RCE using an existing PoC. However, editing the YAML manually can be difficult because it’s very space sensitive.
