3) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU77164

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU82978

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45803

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 does not remove the HTTP request body when redirecting HTTP response using status codes 301, 302, or 303, after the request had its method changed from one that could accept a request body (e.g. from POST to GET). A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU92262

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37891

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Prox-Authorization header is not stripped during cross-origin redirects when using urllib3's proxy support with ProxyManager. A remote attacker can gain obtain proxy credentials used by the library.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

6) Origin validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU59319

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3618

CWE-ID: CWE-346 - Origin Validation Error

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error in TLS implementation when handling different protocols but using compatible certificates, such as multi-domain or wildcard certificates. A remote attacker with ability to perform TCP/IP layer MitM attack can redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS session. This breaks the authentication of TLS and cross-protocol attacks may be possible where the behavior of one protocol service may compromise the other at the application layer.

This attack technique was dubbed ALPACA (application layer protocol content confusion attack).

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
