https://github.com/hcatlin/mini_magick

A ruby wrapper for ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick command line.

Tested on both Ruby 1.9.2 and Ruby 1.8.7.




If a URL is from an untrusted source, commands can be injected into it
for remote code execution with the ; character.

image = MiniMagick::Image.open("http://www.google.com/images/logos/logo.png")
image.resize "5x5"
image.format "gif"
image.write "localcopy.gif"

./hcatlin-mini_magick-1.3.1/lib/mini_magick.rb

Lines:

172       command = "#{MiniMagick.processor} #{command} #{args.join(' ')}".strip
173   
174       if ::MiniMagick.use_subexec
175         sub = Subexec.run(command, :timeout => MiniMagick.timeout)
176         exit_status = sub.exitstatus
177         output = sub.output
178       else 
179         output = `#{command} 2>&1`
180         exit_status = $?.exitstatus
181       end

The .strip will only remove whitespace from the beginning and end of the command.
