Description Kurt Seifried 2014-04-30 08:01:32 UTC

Jan Rusnacko of Red Hat reports:

current CFME code contains dangerous send in
cfme/vmdb/app/controllers/application_controller/performance.rb :

747: p_rpt.where_clause[2] =
@perf_record.send(@perf_options[:parent].underscore).id

This calls .send method on @perf_record, with argument @perf_options[:parent],
which is supplied by user:

29: @perf_options[:parent] = params[:compare_to].blank? ? nil :
params[:compare_to] if params.has_key?(:compare_to)

Comment 1 Martin Povolny 2014-08-19 13:53:22 UTC

this bug was fixed by dclarizio 2982783ab1a5432d9a63a645061986f82bb95514 in the old upstream repo

and it's fixed with the initial commit in the new repo

so this is fixed for 5.3 --> moving to to QA
