# Rails-doubletap-exploit
RCE on Rails 5.2.2 using a path traversal (CVE-2019-5418) and a deserialization of Ruby objects (CVE-2019-5420)
**Technical Analysis**:
- CVE-2019-5418 - https://github.com/mpgn/CVE-2019-5418
- CVE-2019-5420 - https://hackerone.com/reports/473888
**Security Adivsory**:
- CVE-2019-5418 - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rubyonrails-security/pFRKI96Sm8Q
- CVE-2019-5420 - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rubyonrails-security/CVE-2019-5420
---
### Exploit
1. The exploit check if the Rails application is vulnerable to the **CVE-2019-5418**
2. Then gets the content of the files: `credentials.yml.enc` and `master.key`
3. Decrypt the *credentials.yml.enc* and get the **secret_key_base** value
4. Craft a request to the ressource `/rails/active_storage/disk/:encoded_key/*filename(.:format)` => **CVE-2019-5420**
5. Send the request to the vulnerable server
6. The code is executed on the server
**Mitigations**
- You may notice the cache level is disabled on the exploit, but you can use a race condition to retrieve the two files: https://gist.github.com/snyff/04c3463845480632a1fe192308c31439#file-race_condition-sh

Subject: [PATCH] Fix possible dev mode RCE
If the secret_key_base is nil in dev or test generate a key from random
bytes and store it in a tmp file. This prevents the app developers from
having to share / checkin the secret key for dev / test but also
maintains a key between app restarts in dev/test.
