CVE-2014-1834  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-77  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

Echor is a wrapper for echo. Affected versions of this gem contain a flaw in backplane.rb in the perform_request function that is triggered when a semi-colon ; is injected into a username or password. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to inject arbitrary commands if the gem is used in a rails application.
