CVE-2014-4998: Command injection vulnerability

January 10, 2018 (updated January 30, 2018)

The script /test/tc_database.rb exposes MySQL password information in plaintext in the process table. If this Gem is used in the context of a RoR application a remote attacker might be able to inject commands via the #{user} and #{password} variables as they are not sanitized before being passed to the shell.
