Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25638)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when "hibernate.use_sql_comments" is configured to true. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.


2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25122)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing new h2c connection requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server and obtain contents of HTTP responses, served to other users.


3) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25329)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU28158 and requires a certain specific configuration.


4) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9484)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in uploaded files names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file name to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that the server is configured to use PersistenceManager with a FileStore and the attacker knows relative file path from storage location.
