Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26117)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input passed via the $resource service. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
2) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26116)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
3) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26118)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions in the input[url] functionality. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25869)
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.
5) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25844)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to angular provides a custom locale rule that makes it possible to assign the parameter in posPre: ' '.repeat() of NUMBER_FORMATS.PATTERNS[1].posPre with a very high value. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
