How to safely let users run arbitrary Ruby code?
- by igul222
I realize this sounds a little crazy, but I'm working on a project for which I need a server to run user-provided Ruby code and return the result.
I'm looking to prevent something like this:
system("rm -rf /")
eval("something_evil")
# etc...
I'm sure there must be some reasonably safe way to do this, as it already exists at places like tryruby.org. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
