== Command Injection Some Ruby core methods accept string data that includes text to be executed as a system command. They should not be called with unknown or unsanitized commands. These methods include: - Kernel.system - {\`command` (backtick method)}[rdoc-ref:Kernel#`] (also called by the expression %x[command]). - IO.popen(command). - IO.read(command). - IO.write(command). - IO.binread(command). - IO.binwrite(command). - IO.readlines(command). - IO.foreach(command). Note that some of these methods do not execute commands when called from subclass \File: - File.read(path). - File.write(path). - File.binread(path). - File.binwrite(path). - File.readlines(path). - File.foreach(path).
