DescriptionCVE.org

amazing-print/amazing_print at commit dc890dfafdf07088ea901df53c19c2710e5c5234 contains a Ruby code injection condition in AwesomeMethodArray#grep. A specially named method containing Ruby interpolation syntax can be interpolated into a dynamically constructed eval string when grep is called with a block, resulting in Ruby code execution in the host process. Exploitation requires an application path that allows an attacker to influence dynamic method names.

AnalysisAI

Ruby code injection in the amazing_print gem's AwesomeMethodArray#grep enables arbitrary Ruby code execution inside the host process when attacker-controlled strings containing interpolation syntax reach a dynamically constructed eval call. Specifically pinned to commit dc890dfafdf07088ea901df53c19c2710e5c5234, the flaw requires an application code path where externally influenced values can become method names processed by grep with a block. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists on GitHub Gist, and while the CVE is not in CISA KEV, the full-RCE impact in affected deployments warrants urgent remediation review.

Technical ContextAI

amazing_print is a Ruby gem providing enhanced pretty-printing and object introspection, including method listing via the AwesomeMethodArray class. The vulnerable code resides in lib/amazing_print/core_ext/awesome_method_array.rb at line 71, where a string passed to eval is constructed dynamically by incorporating method names without sanitizing Ruby interpolation metacharacters. CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code - Code Injection) precisely characterizes this root cause: when grep is invoked with a block, a method name that contains a Ruby interpolation sequence such as #{...} is expanded inside the eval expression rather than treated as a literal string, causing the interpolated content to execute as Ruby code in the host process. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) supplied by NVD is non-informative and does not clarify the affected gem version range; the vulnerability is anchored specifically to the referenced commit in the upstream GitHub repository.

RemediationAI

Monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/amazing-print/amazing_print for a tagged release or commit that sanitizes method names before interpolation into the eval string in AwesomeMethodArray#grep, or replaces the eval-based approach entirely - no specific patched gem version is confirmed by any available intelligence source. As an immediate compensating control, audit all application code paths to determine whether externally supplied values can reach amazing_print's method introspection functions; where such paths exist, reject or sanitize any method name string containing the sequence #{ before it enters the library. The most impactful mitigation with no functional trade-off for most deployments is to restrict amazing_print to the :development and :test groups in the application Gemfile, preventing the gem from loading in production environments entirely; since amazing_print is a debugging and pretty-printing utility, its presence in production Gemfiles is itself non-standard and this change carries negligible risk of regressions.
