From 9c34fa05900b968d74f08ccf40917848a7be9441 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: schneems Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 16:32:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Do not respond to http requests asking for a `file://` Based on CVE-2018-3760 when the Sprockets server is accidentally being used in production, an attacker can pass in a specifically crafted url that will allow them access to view every file on the system. If the file hit contains a compilable extension such as `.erb` then the code in that file will be executed. A Rails app will be using the Sprockets file server in production if they have accidentally configured their app to: ```ruby config.assets.compile = true # Your app is vulnerable ``` It is highly recommended to not use the Sprockets server in production and to instead precompile assets to disk and serve them through a server such as Nginx or via the static file middleware that ships with rails `config.public_file_server.enabled = true`. This patch mitigates the issue, but explicitly disallowing any requests to any URI resources via the server. --- test/test_server.rb | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/test/test_server.rb b/test/test_server.rb index 66429533..19921e19 100644 --- a/test/test_server.rb +++ b/test/test_server.rb @@ -331,6 +331,13 @@ def app assert_equal "", last_response.body end + test "illegal access of a file asset" do + absolute_path = fixture_path("server/app/javascripts") + + get "assets/file:%2f%2f//#{absolute_path}/foo.js" + assert_equal 403, last_response.status + end + test "add new source to tree" do filename = fixture_path("server/app/javascripts/baz.js")
