🔒 Fix Insecure YAML Deserialization in Scripts - #35
Conversation
Replace `YAML.load` with `YAML.safe_load_file` in both `scripts/validate_weapons.rb` and `scripts/erb.rb` to prevent potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities from parsing untrusted YAML content.

🎯 What: The vulnerability fixed is an insecure YAML deserialization using
⚠️ Risk: If an attacker can introduce a malicious YAML file into the
YAML.loadinscripts/validate_weapons.rbandscripts/erb.rb.weapons/directory, the oldYAML.loadmethod in earlier Ruby versions allows instantiation of arbitrary Ruby objects, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when the scripts are executed.🛡️ Solution: The fix replaces
YAML.load(File.open(...))withYAML.safe_load_file(...), which is safe against instantiating arbitrary classes and only parses safe, native types like Hashes, Arrays, and Strings by default.Note: Since
scripts/erb.rbre-read the directory indiscriminately without sorting, executing it generated a minor shuffling in some tables withinREADME.mdandcategorize/markdown files, which have been committed along with the fixes.PR created automatically by Jules for task 5666713803620845012 started by @hahwul
