An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2013-0333 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- activesupport (RubyGems): affected from 2.3.2; fixed in 2.3.16\n- activesupport (RubyGems): affected from 2.3.2; fixed in 2.3.16\n- activesupport (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.20\n- activesupport (RubyGems): affected from 3.0.0; fixed in 3.0.20\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-2013-0333/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-0333/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-0333","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-0333/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-0333","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2013-0333","DSA-2613-1","GHSA-xgr2-v94m-rc9g","RHSA-2013:0202"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby on Rails","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code, perform SQL injection, or bypass authentication in Ruby on Rails via unsafe YAML deserialization of JSON data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"},{"product":"ruby_on_rails","vendor":"rubyonrails"}],"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":[],"description":"lib/active_support/json/backends/yaml.rb in Ruby on Rails 2.3.x before 2.3.16 and 3.0.x before 3.0.20 does not properly convert JSON data to YAML data for processing by a YAML parser, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, conduct SQL injection attacks, or bypass authentication via crafted data that triggers unsafe decoding, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-0156.","ecosystems":["Red Hat:openshift:1::el6","RubyGems"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2013-01-28","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-01-29T00:33:03Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/heroku/heroku-CVE-2013-0333","stars":2,"title":null},{"date":"2013-01-28","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/http/rails_json_yaml_code_exec","stars":null,"title":"Ruby on Rails JSON Processor YAML Deserialization Code Execution"},{"date":"2013-01-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"24434","stars":null,"title":"Ruby on Rails -
