A user has hacked into the official GitHub-hosted Ruby on Rails code repository and bug tracker on Sunday. A Russian user Egor Homakov reported a vulnerability that could be exploited to insert unauthorized data into a Rails’ application database through Web forms. Homakov decided to demonstrate just how widespread the problem is by showing that not even GitHub enforces the necessary restrictions. GitHub fixed the vulnerability in less than an hour and temporarily suspended Homakov’s account pending an investigation into his actions. His account was later reinstated after the GitHub team determined that his intentions were not malicious.”]
