Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper validation of integrity check value

EUVDB-ID: #VU82069

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38552

CWE-ID: CWE-354 - Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the policy feature, which checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest. An application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to node's policy implementation, thus effectively disabling the integrity check.

Mitigation
