What is CVE-2013-2513?

The Flash Tool gem for Ruby, up to version 0.6.0, is susceptible to remote command execution due to improper handling of shell metacharacters in downloaded file names. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious filename, which when executed could allow arbitrary command execution on the target system. This could lead to unauthorized access and compromise of sensitive data. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
