No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3655/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3655/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3655","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3655/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3655","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p524-ppf2-w36w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Ruby programming language","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass Ruby's safe level restrictions to access critical variables and methods, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ruby","vendor":"ruby-lang"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Ruby 1.8.5 and earlier, 1.8.6 through 1.8.6-p286, 1.8.7 through 1.8.7-p71, and 1.9 through r18423 does not properly restrict access to critical variables and methods at various safe levels, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via (1) untrace_var, (2) $PROGRAM_NAME, and (3) syslog at safe level 4, and (4) insecure methods at safe levels 1 through 3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2008-08-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-08-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32223","stars":null,"title":"Ruby 1.9 dl - Module DL.dlopen Arbitrary Library Access"},{"date":"2008-08-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32224","stars":null,"title":"Ruby 1.9 - Safe Level Multiple Function Restriction Bypass"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3655","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ruby-lang:ruby","products":["ruby-lang:ruby"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":32,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3656"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3654"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4124","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28738","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in OpenSSL extension of Ruby (Git trunk)","id":"CVE-2011-4121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17790","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Ruby","id":"CVE-2016-2336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Ruby","id":"CVE-2016-2337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass Ruby's safe level restrictions to access critical variables and methods, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution or privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3655/"}
