CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29041
CWE-ID:
CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in malformed URLs. 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) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
EUVDB-ID: #VU89801
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22262
CWE-ID:
CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing URL with the UriComponentsBuilder component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
Note, this vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU87614 (CVE-2024-22259) and #VU86695 (CVE-2024-22243).
