Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
EUVDB-ID: #VU88803
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-2024-22329
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. 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.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM Watson Explorer Foundational Components: before 12.0.3.15
IBM Watson Explorer Analytical Components: before 12.0.3.15

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm
EUVDB-ID: #VU86988
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50312
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to weaker than expected security for outbound TLS connections caused by a failure to honor user configuration. An adjacent attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
