7.5 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NCVE-2019-8325
High (7.5). EPSS 3.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in rubygems-update 2.7.9, 3.0.2.
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)
