| Description: This gem provides the railtie that allows datamapper to hook into rails3 and thus behave like a rails framework component. Just like activerecord does in rails, dm-rails uses the railtie API to hook into rails. The two are actually hooked into rails almost identically. |
| Vulnerability: The problem is with the execute function exposing the user credentials to the process table.
Lines 169 - 177 in /datamapper/dm-rails/blob/master/lib/dm-rails/storage.rb:
def execute(statement)
system(
'mysql',
(username.blank? ? '' : "--user=#{username}"),
(password.blank? ? '' : "--password=#{password}"),
'-e',
statement
)
