curupira fixed: 0.1.4
Upgrade curupira to 0.1.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for curupira

How to Check if You Are Affected

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In Curupira, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in prodigasistemas curupira up to 0.1.3. Affected is an unknown function of the file app/controllers/curupira/passwords_controller.rb. The manipulation leads to sql injection. Upgrading to version 0.1.4 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is 93a9a77896bb66c949acb8e64bceafc74bc8c271.
