CVE-2017-0900 3 Debian, Redhat, Rubygems 8 Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 5 more 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
RubyGems version 2.6.12 and earlier is vulnerable to maliciously crafted gem specifications to cause a denial of service attack against RubyGems clients who have issued a `query` command.
CVE-2017-0899 3 Debian, Redhat, Rubygems 8 Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 5 more 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
RubyGems version 2.6.12 and earlier is vulnerable to maliciously crafted gem specifications that include terminal escape characters. Printing the gem specification would execute terminal escape sequences.
CVE-2017-0902 4 Canonical, Debian, Redhat and 1 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
RubyGems version 2.6.12 and earlier is vulnerable to a DNS hijacking vulnerability that allows a MITM attacker to force the RubyGems client to download and install gems from a server that the attacker controls.
CVE-2017-0903 4 Canonical, Debian, Redhat and 1 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
RubyGems versions between 2.0.0 and 2.6.13 are vulnerable to a possible remote code execution vulnerability. YAML deserialization of gem specifications can bypass class white lists. Specially crafted serialized objects can possibly be used to escalate to remote code execution.
CVE-2017-0901 4 Canonical, Debian, Redhat and 1 more 9 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 6 more 2025-04-20 6.4 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
RubyGems version 2.6.12 and earlier fails to validate specification names, allowing a maliciously crafted gem to potentially overwrite any file on the filesystem.
CVE-2015-4020 2 Oracle, Rubygems 2 Solaris, Rubygems 2025-04-12 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
RubyGems 2.0.x before 2.0.17, 2.2.x before 2.2.5, and 2.4.x before 2.4.8 does not validate the hostname when fetching gems or making API requests, which allows remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary domains via a crafted DNS SRV record with a domain that is suffixed with the original domain name, aka a "DNS hijack attack." NOTE: this vulnerability exists because to an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-3900.
CVE-2015-3900 4 Oracle, Redhat, Ruby-lang and 1 more 4 Solaris, Enterprise Linux, Ruby and 1 more 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
RubyGems 2.0.x before 2.0.16, 2.2.x before 2.2.4, and 2.4.x before 2.4.7 does not validate the hostname when fetching gems or making API requests, which allows remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary domains via a crafted DNS SRV record, aka a "DNS hijack attack."
CVE-2012-2126 3 Canonical, Redhat, Rubygems 3 Ubuntu Linux, Openshift, Rubygems 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
RubyGems before 1.8.23 does not verify an SSL certificate, which allows remote attackers to modify a gem during installation via a man-in-the-middle attack.
CVE-2013-4363 2 Ruby-lang, Rubygems 2 Ruby, Rubygems 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in Gem::Version::ANCHORED_VERSION_PATTERN in lib/rubygems/version.rb in RubyGems before 1.8.23.2, 1.8.24 through 1.8.26, 2.0.x before 2.0.10, and 2.1.x before 2.1.5, as used in Ruby 1.9.0 through 2.0.0p247, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted gem version that triggers a large amount of backtracking in a regular expression. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4287.
CVE-2013-4287 3 Redhat, Ruby-lang, Rubygems 3 Enterprise Linux, Ruby, Rubygems 2025-04-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in Gem::Version::VERSION_PATTERN in lib/rubygems/version.rb in RubyGems before 1.8.23.1, 1.8.24 through 1.8.25, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, and 2.1.x before 2.1.0, as used in Ruby 1.9.0 through 2.0.0p247, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted gem version that triggers a large amount of backtracking in a regular expression.
CVE-2012-2125 3 Canonical, Redhat, Rubygems 3 Ubuntu Linux, Openshift, Rubygems 2025-04-11 5.8 MEDIUM N/A
RubyGems before 1.8.23 can redirect HTTPS connections to HTTP, which makes it easier for remote attackers to observe or modify a gem during installation via a man-in-the-middle attack.
CVE-2022-36073 1 Rubygems 1 Rubygems 2024-11-21 N/A 8.3 HIGH
RubyGems.org is the Ruby community gem host. A bug in password & email change confirmation code allowed an attacker to change their RubyGems.org account's email to an unowned email address. Having access to an account whose email has been changed could enable an attacker to save API keys for that account, and when a legitimate user attempts to create an account with their email (and has to reset password to gain access) and is granted access to other gems, the attacker would then be able to publish and yank versions of those gems. Commit number 90c9e6aac2d91518b479c51d48275c57de492d4d contains a patch for this issue.
CVE-2019-8325 3 Debian, Opensuse, Rubygems 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Rubygems 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)
CVE-2019-8324 4 Debian, Opensuse, Redhat and 1 more 4 Debian Linux, Leap, Enterprise Linux and 1 more 2024-11-21 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. A crafted gem with a multi-line name is not handled correctly. Therefore, an attacker could inject arbitrary code to the stub line of gemspec, which is eval-ed by code in ensure_loadable_spec during the preinstall check.
CVE-2019-8323 3 Debian, Opensuse, Rubygems 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Rubygems 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.
CVE-2019-8322 3 Debian, Opensuse, Rubygems 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Rubygems 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. The gem owner command outputs the contents of the API response directly to stdout. Therefore, if the response is crafted, escape sequence injection may occur.
CVE-2019-8321 3 Debian, Opensuse, Rubygems 3 Debian Linux, Leap, Rubygems 2024-11-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::UserInteraction#verbose calls say without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible.
CVE-2019-8320 1 Rubygems 1 Rubygems 2024-11-21 8.8 HIGH 7.4 HIGH
A Directory Traversal issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.7.6 and later through 3.0.2. Before making new directories or touching files (which now include path-checking code for symlinks), it would delete the target destination. If that destination was hidden behind a symlink, a malicious gem could delete arbitrary files on the user's machine, presuming the attacker could guess at paths. Given how frequently gem is run as sudo, and how predictable paths are on modern systems (/tmp, /usr, etc.), this could likely lead to data loss or an unusable system.
CVE-2018-1000079 1 Rubygems 1 Rubygems 2024-11-21 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier, Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series: 2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier, prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in gem installation that can result in the gem could write to arbitrary filesystem locations during installation. This attack appear to be exploitable via the victim must install a malicious gem. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 2.7.6.
CVE-2018-1000078 2 Debian, Rubygems 2 Debian Linux, Rubygems 2024-11-21 4.3 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
RubyGems version Ruby 2.2 series: 2.2.9 and earlier, Ruby 2.3 series: 2.3.6 and earlier, Ruby 2.4 series: 2.4.3 and earlier, Ruby 2.5 series: 2.5.0 and earlier, prior to trunk revision 62422 contains a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in gem server display of homepage attribute that can result in XSS. This attack appear to be exploitable via the victim must browse to a malicious gem on a vulnerable gem server. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 2.7.6.
