Description Adam Mariš 2017-09-15 09:30:28 UTC
There is an escape sequence injection vulnerability in the Basic authentication of WEBrick bundled by Ruby. When using the Basic authentication of WEBrick, clients can pass an arbitrary string as the user name. WEBrick outputs the passed user name intact to its log, then an attacker can inject malicious escape sequences to the log and dangerous control characters may be executed on a victim’s terminal emulator.
