How to Fix CVE-2013-2095

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Openshift origin controller dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

openshift-origin-controller fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade openshift-origin-controller to Latest secure release
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 openshift-origin-controller

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2013-2095, inspect your project dependencies for Openshift origin controller:

inspect dependencies for openshift-origin-controller

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Openshift origin controller, 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

rubygem-openshift-origin-controller: API can be used to create applications via cartridge_cache.rb URI.prase() to perform command injection
