    Improper Input Validation in multi_xml

    CVE-2013-0175 · GHSA-pchc-949f-53m5

    Affected
    • RubyGems multi_xml < 0.5.2
    Fixed in
    0.5.2· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    multixml gem 0.5.2 for Ruby, as used in Grape before 0.2.6 and possibly other products, 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 support for (1) YAML type conversion or (2) Symbol type conversion, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2013-0156.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.5.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
