EUVDB-ID: #VU87614

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22259

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

Exploit availability: No

Description

The 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.

Mitigation

4) Insufficient verification of data authenticity

EUVDB-ID: #VU86236

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40547

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing verification of data authenticity when parsing HTTP responses. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and use a specific malicious HTTP request, leading to a completely controlled out-of-bounds write primitive and complete system compromise.

This flaw is only exploitable during the early boot phase, an attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the-Middle or compromise the boot server to be able to exploit this vulnerability successfully.
