A vulnerability was found in Ruby on Rails up to 1.7.6 (Programming Language Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code of the component JSON Gem. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
The JSON gem before 1.5.5, 1.6.x before 1.6.8, and 1.7.x before 1.7.7 for Ruby allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) or bypass the mass assignment protection mechanism via a crafted JSON document that triggers the creation of arbitrary Ruby symbols or certain internal objects, as demonstrated by conducting a SQL injection attack against Ruby on Rails, aka "Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability."
The weakness was presented 02/11/2013 by Thomas Hollstegge and Ben Murphy with Zweitag as confirmed mailinglist post (oss-sec mailing list). It is possible to read the advisory at seclists.org. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with the project team. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-0269 since 12/06/2012. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.
A public exploit has been developed in Ruby and been published immediately after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at seclists.org. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 74955 (openSUSE Security Update : ruby (openSUSE-SU-2013:0603-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 166127 (SUSE Security Update for Ruby (openSUSE-SU-2013:0603-1)).
Upgrading to version 1.7.7 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (82010) and Tenable (74955). See 7681, 7682 and 10949 for similar entries.
