Overview

fastreader is a terminal-based feed reader. Affected versions of this gem are vulnerable to arbitrary command execution due to mishandling of specially crafted input passed via a URL that contains a ; character. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary commands.
