Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36374)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36033)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of HTML code within the jsoup cleaner, including javascript: URL expressions when the non-default SafeList.preserveRelativeLinks option is enabled. A remote attacker can inject 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.
3) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37533)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to redirect victim to a malicious host.
The vulnerability exists due to the application trusts the host from PASV response by default. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to an attacker controlled FTP server and then redirect the application to another host.
4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42890)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the application allows running Java classes via JavaScript. A remote user can use JavaScript to execute a Java class on the system and obtain its execution results.
Example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("xxx");
6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29599)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing double-quoted strings. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
7) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33980)
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 pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
