1) Use of Password Hash Instead of Password for Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46146)

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of basic authentication. A remote attacker with knowledge of the password hash can authenticate against Prometheus without actual knowledge of the password.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3709)

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.


3) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3899)

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect authorization caused by D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 that exposes a significant number of methods to all users. A local user can abuse the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method to change the state of the registration and escalate privileges on the system.


4) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32360)

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

The vulnerability exists due to missing authentication in CUPS. A remote attacker can access recently printed documents.
