Subject: Remote Command Injection in Ruby Gem sfpagent 0.4.14

Title: Remote Command Injection in Ruby Gem sfpagent 0.4.14

Date: 4/15/2014

Author: Larry W. Cashdollar, @_larry0

CVE: Please assign one at your leisure. 

Download: http://rubygems.org/gems/sfpagent

Vulnerability
The list variable generated from the user supplied JSON[body] input is passed directly to the system() shell on line 649. If a user supplies a module name with shell metacharacters like ; they might be able to execute shell commands on the remote system as the sfpagent running user id.
I think to fix this youâ€TMd need to sanitize all input from the user with shellwords.escape.

637                         code, body = get_data(address, port, '/modules')
638                         raise Exception, "Unable to get modules list from {name}" if code.to_i != 200

645                         }
