What is CVE-2021-21305?

CarrierWave is an open-source RubyGem which provides a simple and flexible way to upload files from Ruby applications. In CarrierWave before versions 1.3.2 and 2.1.1, there is a code injection vulnerability. The "#manipulate!" method inappropriately evals the content of mutation option(:read/:write), allowing attackers to craft a string that can be executed as a Ruby code. If an application developer supplies untrusted inputs to the option, it will lead to remote code execution(RCE). This is fixed in versions 1.3.2 and 2.1.1.

Affected Version(s)

carrierwave < 1.3.2 < 1.3.2

carrierwave >= 2.0.0, < 2.1.1 < 2.0.0, 2.1.1
