Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23463)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. 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.
2) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23221)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within jdbc:h2:mem. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JDBC URL containing the IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS=TRUE;FORBID_CREATION=FALSE;INIT=RUNSCRIPT substring to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10693)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling user-controlled data in error messages. A remote attacker can bypass input sanitation (escaping, stripping) controls.
