Which versions of cremefraiche are affected by CVE-2013-2090?

cremefraiche (rubygems) versions < 0.6.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for CVE-2013-2090?

Yes. CVE-2013-2090 is fixed in 0.6.1. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is CVE-2013-2090 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether CVE-2013-2090 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether CVE-2013-2090 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

Summary

Creme Fraiche contains OS Command Injection

The set_meta_data function in lib/cremefraiche.rb in the Creme Fraiche gem before 0.6.1 for Ruby allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the file name of an email attachment. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Impact

Untrusted input reaches a shell command, allowing arbitrary commands to run on the host. Typical impact: code execution in the application's environment.

Affected versions

cremefraiche (< 0.6.1)

Security releases

cremefraiche → 0.6.1 (rubygems)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
