CarrierWave is an open-source RubyGem which provides a simple and flexible way to upload files from Ruby applications. In CarrierWave before versions 1.3.2 and 2.1.1, there is a code injection vulnerability. The "#manipulate!" method inappropriately evals the content of mutation option(:read/:write), allowing attackers to craft a string that can be executed as a Ruby code. If an application developer supplies untrusted inputs to the option, it will lead to remote code execution(RCE). This is fixed in versions 1.3.2 and 2.1.1.

GHSA-cf3w-g86h-35x4 — Code Injection vulnerability in CarrierWave::RMagick

Affected: RubyGems: carrierwave

### Impact [CarrierWave::RMagick](https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave/blob/master/lib/carrierwave/processing/rmagick.rb) has a Code Injection vulnerability. Its `#manipulate!` method inappropriately evals the content of mutation option(`:read`/`:write`), allowing attackers to craft a string that can be executed as a Ruby code. If an application developer supplies untrusted inputs to the option, it will lead to remote code execution(RCE).

(But supplying untrusted input to the option itself is dangerous even in absence of this vulnerability, since is prone to DoS vulnerability - attackers can try to consume massive amounts of memory by resizing to a very large dimension)

### Proof of Concept ```ruby class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base include CarrierWave::RMagick end

MyUploader.new.manipulate!({ read: { density: "1 }; p 'Hacked'; {" }}) # => shows "Hacked" ```

### Patches Upgrade to [2.1.1](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/2.1.1) or [1.3.2](https://rubygems.org/gems/carrierwave/versions/1.3.2).

### Workarounds Stop supplying untrusted input to `#manipulate!`'s mutation option.
