Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU63502
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1529
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the NotificationsDB module. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page, which passes malicious messages to the parent process where the contents is used to double-index into a JavaScript object. As a result, an attacker can perform prototype pollution and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the privileged parent process.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

2) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU63501
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1802
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to prototype pollution in Top-Level Await implementation. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted website, corrupt the methods of an Array object in JavaScript via prototype pollution and execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a privileged context.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.
