Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2098)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to algorithmic complexity in the sorting algorithms in bzip2 compressing stream (BZip2CompressorOutputStream). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34053)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Web Observations. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15494)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
In Dojo Toolkit before 1.14, there is unescaped string injection in dojox/Grid/DataGrid.
4) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5259)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the jqMix method. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript script code.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10785)
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 when "dojox.xmpp.util.xmlEncode" method only encodes the first occurrence of each character, not all of them. 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.
PoC:
"&&".replace("&", "&") == "&&"
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4051)
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 in the Editor's LinkDialog plugin. 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.
7) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1945)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Ant is using a default temporary directory identified by the Java system property java.io.tmpdir for several tasks and may thus leak sensitive information. The fixcrlf and replaceregexp tasks also copy files from the temporary directory back into the build tree allowing an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.
8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11979)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect patch for vulnerability #VU27924 (CVE-2020-1945). Apache Ant 1.10.8 changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them. Unfortunately the fixcrlf task deleted the temporary file and created a new one without said protection, effectively nullifying the effort. This would still allow an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36374)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36373)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing TAR archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input within the SAXBuilder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
12) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50312)
The 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.
13) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22259)
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.
14) XML injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49093)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing XML data within the MSXML XSLProcessor. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML data to the application and perform arbitrary actions on the system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
15) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22262)
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.
Note, this vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU87614 (CVE-2024-22259) and #VU86695 (CVE-2024-22243).
