Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. 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) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40149)

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 XML or JSON data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40150)

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 untrusted XML or JSON data. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45685)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing crafted JSON data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1436)

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

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when constructing a JSONArray from a Collection that contains a self-reference in one of its elements. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45693)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing data passed via the map parameter. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

7) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28709)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fox for #VU72427 (CVE-2023-24998). If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

8) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13936)

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 with ability to modify Velocity templates can inject and execute arbitrary Java code on the system with the same privileges as the account running the Servlet container.



9) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat does not set the "Secure" attribute for the JSESSIONID session cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https. A remote attacker can force the application to transmit cookie via an insecure channel and intercept it.


10) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34981)

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

The vulnerability exists due to HTTP headers are not set in a response. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


11) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10172)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.


12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10202)

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of patch for Codehaus 1.9.x against insufficient data deserialization present in FasterXML jackson-databind. A remote attacker can bypass implemented protection measures and exploit known deserialization vulnerabilities in jackson-databind package.
