CVE-2019-10842

CRITICAL

bootstrap-sass 3.2.0.3 - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via ___cfduid Cookie

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Arbitrary code execution (via backdoor code) was discovered in bootstrap-sass 3.2.0.3, when downloaded from rubygems.org. An unauthenticated attacker can craft the ___cfduid cookie value with base64 arbitrary code to be executed via eval(), which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the target system. Note that there are three underscore characters in the cookie name. This is unrelated to the __cfduid cookie that is legitimately used by Cloudflare.
