Description
This security bulletin contains information about 20 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28849)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to credentials are shared via headers when following cross-domain redirects. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29415)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the isPublic() function when handling certain IP addresses, such as 127.1, 01200034567, 012.1.2.3, 000:0:0000::01, and ::fFFf:127.0.0.1. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU86944 (CVE-2023-42282).
3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42282)

5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41123)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing characters such as a whitespace character, >] and ]>. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39908)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted characters, such as "<", "\0" and "%>" to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43799)
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 in the "SendStream.redirect()" function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script 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.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37890)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when handling requests with the number of headers that exceeds the "server.maxHeadersCount" value. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39338)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
10) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26159)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data within the url.parse() function. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
11) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41818)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43398)
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 parsing XML with multiple deep elements that have same local name attributes. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35176)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing XML that has multiple bracket character occurrences (e.g. "<") in an attribute value. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Cleartext storage of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38037)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software uses a temporary file for storing unencrypted files. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
15) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43800)
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. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script 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.
16) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4067)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs in `micromatch.braces()` in `index.js` because the pattern `.*` will greedily match anything. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
17) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28863)
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 while parsing a tar file. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
18) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
19) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36327)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of data authenticity in Bundler, when choosing a dependency source. The application selects a dependency source based on the highest gem version number, which means that a rogue gem found at a public source may be chosen, even if the intended choice was a private gem that is a dependency of another private gem that is explicitly depended on by the application.
20) Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43809)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability occurs when working with untrusted and apparently harmless `Gemfile`'s. A local user can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted directory containing a `Gemfile` file that declares a dependency that is located in a Git repository and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
