GHSA-hm6m-2xg8-mc5q PUBLISHED CVSS 9.800000190734863 CRITICAL

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published February 21, 2023

An issue was discovered in GNU Emacs through 28.2. In ruby-mode.el, the ruby-find-library-file function has a local command injection vulnerability. The ruby-find-library-file function is an interactive function, and bound to C-c C-f. Inside the function, the external command gem is called through shell-command-to-string, but the feature-name parameters are not escaped. Thus, malicious Ruby source files may cause commands to be executed.
