Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31657)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.


2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31658)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling JDBC string. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31659)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote privileged user 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.


4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31660)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.


5) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31661)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.


6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31662)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31663)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31664)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.


9) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31665)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling JDBC string. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
