This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Code Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU50621

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27619

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

EUVDB-ID: #VU61681

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4189

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
