Description Kurt Seifried 2014-02-12 05:40:49 UTC
Jan Rusnacko of the Red Hat Product Security Team reports:

CFME contains an unsafe invocation of send method on user-supplied
argument. This issue is reported by Brakeman as problem in ServiceController
method x_button:

vmdb/app/controllers/service_controller.rb

16 def x_button
17 @explorer = true
18 model, action = pressed2model_action(params[:pressed])
19 @sb[:action] = action
20 if ["ownership","tag"].include?(action)
21 self.send(params[:pressed],"Service")
22 else
23 self.send(params[:pressed])
24 end

Assuming pressed2model_action sanitizes user input, this look like
false-positive. However, pressed2model_action does not do sanitization, and only
splits string on underscore:

def pressed2model_action(pressed)
pressed =~ /^(vm_vdi|miq_template)_(.*)$/ ? [$1, $2] : pressed.split('_', 2)
end

If action parsed from user-supplied input is neither "ownership", nor "tag",
else branch is executed and client can execute arbitrary method on controller,
including private.
