image_processing is an image processing wrapper for libvips and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick. Prior to version 1.12.2, using the `#apply` method from image_processing to apply a series of operations that are coming from unsanitized user input allows the attacker to execute shell commands. This method is called internally by Active Storage variants, so Active Storage is vulnerable as well. The vulnerability has been fixed in version 1.12.2 of image_processing. As a workaround, users who process based on user input should always sanitize the user input by allowing only a constrained set of operations.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6675-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ImageProcessing incorrectly handled series of operations that are coming from     unsanitised inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input     file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5310 advisory.

    It was discovered that ruby-image-processing, a ruby package that provides higher-level image processing     helpers, is prone to a remote shell execution vulnerability when using the #apply method to apply a series     of operations coming from unsanitized user input. For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has     been fixed in version 1.10.3-1+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-image-processing packages.
