Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU19256
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20852
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the "http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy.domain_return_ok" in the "Lib/http/cookiejar.py" file returns incorrect results during cookie domain checks. A remote attacker can trick a victim to execute a program that uses the "http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy" to make an HTTP connection to an attacker-controlled server with a hostname that has another valid hostname as a suffix.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system, such as existing cookies. Mitigation

2) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU22617
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16056
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing multiple occurrences of the "@" character in an email address. An application that uses the email module and implements some kind of
checks on the From/To headers of a message could be tricked into
accepting an email address that should be denied.
