Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33987)

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

The vulnerability exists due to requested URLs are not verified and allow open redirection to a local UNIX socket. 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-2021-23369)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker 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) Prototype Pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23383)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when selecting certain compiling options to compile templates. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


4) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23450)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary script code via the setObject function.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5258)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Cluster: Packaging (dojo) component in MySQL Cluster. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000665)

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 in unit. 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.


7) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5673)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.


8) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22475)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error. A remote authenticated user can spoof identity of other application users.


9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36518)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25031)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted URL to display remote OpenAPI definitions.


11) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0778)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the BN_mod_sqrt() function when processing an ASN.1 certificate that contains elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the TLS server or client, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
