GSD-2013-6421

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2013-12-02 00:00

Details

sprout Gem for Ruby contains a flaw in the unpack_zip() function in archive_unpacker.rb. The issue is due to the program failing to properly sanitize input passed via the 'zip_file', 'dir', 'zip_name', and 'output' parameters. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
