Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions colorscore gem versions prior to 0.0.5
Description The issue is related to the initialize method in the Histogram class, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via shell metacharacters in the image path, colors, or depth variable. This is due to a lack of input data sanitization measures. The exploitation of this issue can enable a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
Recommendations For versions prior to 0.0.5, update to version 0.0.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the image path, colors, and depth variables in the initialize method of the Histogram class to minimize the risk of exploitation.
