EUVDB-ID: #VU87200
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24785
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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 html/template when parsing errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

2) Inadequate encryption strength
EUVDB-ID: #VU84537
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795
CWE-ID:
CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
