    Gemirro Stored XSS in Gemspec "homepage" value

    CVE-2017-16833 · GHSA-x7p2-x2j6-mwhr

    Affected
    • RubyGems gemirro < 0.16.0
    Fixed in
    0.16.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Gemirro before 0.16.0 allows attackers to inject arbitrary web script via a crafted javascript: URL in the "homepage" value of a ".gemspec" file. A ".gemspec" file must be created with a JavaScript URL in the homepage value. This can be used to build a gem for upload to the Gemirro server, in order to achieve stored XSS via the author name hyperlink.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.16.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
