Description Tomer Brisker 2017-07-11 14:22:33 UTC
Using methods such as `.each`, a user can pass as an argument a symbol to be called, for example `.each(&:delete)`. 
This allows execution of commands that should be blocked by the jail.
A fix proposal in the safemode gem has been suggested: https://github.com/svenfuchs/safemode/pull/23
Once it is merged we should update our version of the gem to the latest one.

Comment 6 Kedar Bidarkar 2018-01-29 13:43:01 UTC
Please suggest how exactly should I be testing this?
 It appears that I need to test the safe mode rendering of provisioning templates, but not sure what exactly needs/should be tested here.

Comment 7 Tomer Brisker 2018-01-29 13:54:57 UTC
First, ensure that `safemode rendering` under settings->provisioning is set to true.
Check that none of the pre-seeded templates (provision, partition table, or job) contains symbol-to-proc syntax. You can do this by searching for the string "(&:" including the quotes. There should be no matching results.

Next, create a template that contains something like:

<%= @host.interfaces.each(&:id) %>

Then click on the "Preview" button. You should see an error message stating something like "Safemode doesn't allow to access 'block_pass' on &:id".

Comment 8 Kedar Bidarkar 2018-01-30 09:19:28 UTC
Ensured  "Safemode rendering" set to True.

Checked most of the pres-seed templates and they do not contain "symbol-to-proc" syntax.

Next, cloned and added "<%= @host.interfaces.each(&:id) %>" to a provisioning template.

Upon clicking the "Preview" Button, see an error message with the below message.


"Warning! There was an error rendering the Satellite Kickstart Default Cloned template: Safemode doesn't allow to access 'block_pass' on &:id"

VERIFIED with Sat6.3.0-snap32.0
