Issue #7759 has been reported by charliesome (Charlie Somerville). ---------------------------------------- Bug #7759: Marshal.load is not documented to be dangerous https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7759 Author: charliesome (Charlie Somerville) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: DOC Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-01-07 trunk 38733) [x86_64-darwin12.2.1] =begin Marshal.load is incredibly powerful, and also incredibly dangerous. Unfortunately, many developers use it inappropriately and unmarshal user input. This can lead to a wide range of vulnerabilities, including remote code execution. Marshal.load should be documented as dangerous and the documentation should also mention that it should only be used on trusted data. =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
