Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-21888)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to read and manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the WebUI component in Primavera Gateway. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.
2) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42003)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3171)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields. A remote attacker can cause objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses.
4) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42889)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure variable interpolation when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability was dubbed Text4shell.
