How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-26153, inspect your project dependencies for Geokit rails:

inspect dependencies for geokit-rails

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Geokit rails in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.0), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Geokit rails, 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

Versions of the package geokit-rails before 2.5.0 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to unsafe deserialisation of YAML within the 'geo_location' cookie. This issue can be exploited remotely via a malicious cookie value. **Note:** An attacker can use this vulnerability to execute commands on the host system.
