Description Pedro Sampaio 2019-03-25 19:02:32 UTC 
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.

Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2019-03-25 19:14:19 UTC 
Created rubygems tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1692530]
Comment 2 Scott Gayou 2019-04-03 22:12:04 UTC 
Flaws are in gemcutter_utilities.rb 

One example:

```ruby
      if block_given? then
        yield response
      else
        say response.body
```
