HTTParty does not restrict casts of string values (GHSA-mgx3-27hr-mfgp)
Published: 2017-10-24T18:33:37Z
Aliases: CVE-2013-1801
Severity: HIGH · CWE: CWE-74

The httparty gem 0.9.0 and earlier for Ruby does not properly restrict casts of string values, which might allow remote attackers to conduct object-injection attacks and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) by leveraging Action Pack support for YAML type conversion, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2013-0156.
