Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45857)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11023)

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 passing <option> elements to jQuery’s DOM manipulation methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript 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.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-49043)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlXIncludeAddNode() function in xinclude.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code.



4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11187)

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 handling DNS zones with numerous records in the Additional section. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending multiple queries to he affected server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1094)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of quoting syntax in PostgreSQL libpq functions PQescapeLiteral(), PQescapeIdentifier(), PQescapeString(), and PQescapeStringConn() and within the command line utility programs  when client_encoding is BIG5 and server_encoding is one of EUC_TW or MULE_INTERNAL. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary SQL queries in the database.

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1244)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling custom "man" URI schemes. A remote attacker can trick the victim into clicking on a specially crafted URL and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
