Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34064)

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 within the "xmlattr" filter. 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.


2) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)

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

The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.


3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34069)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the debugger. A remote attacker can trick the developer to interact with a domain and subdomain they control and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3772)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted email string to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


5) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1135)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


6) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29041)

The 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.


7) Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34062)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromsie the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an argument injection issue. A local user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.


8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35195)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False. A local administrator can bypass authentication.


9) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4067)

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

The vulnerability occurs in `micromatch.braces()` in `index.js` because the pattern `.*` will greedily match anything. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
