- Affected
- RubyGems chloride < 0.3.0
- Fixed in
- 0.3.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Prior to version 0.3.0, chloride's use of net-ssh resulted in host fingerprints for previously unknown hosts getting added to the user's knownhosts file without confirmation. In version 0.3.0 this is updated so that the user's knownhosts file is not updated by chloride.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
