CVE-2015-7541: Arbitrary Command Injection

January 8, 2016 (updated January 18, 2016)

The contents of the image_path, colors, and depth variables generated from possibly user-supplied input are passed directly to the shell. If a user supplies a value that includes shell metacharacters such as ‘;’, an attacker may be able to execute shell commands on the remote system as the user id of the Ruby process.
