4) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12115)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization on the target system.

The weakness exists in miner_setEtherbase API of cpp-ethereum's JSON-RPC due to improper authorization. A remote attacker can make a specially crafted JSON request, gain access to the restricted functionality and bypass authorization.

5) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12116)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization on the target system.

The weakness exists in miner_setGasPrice API of cpp-ethereum's JSON-RPC due to improper authorization. A remote attacker can make a specially crafted JSON request, gain access to the restricted functionality and bypass authorization.

6) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12117)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization on the target system.

The weakness exists in miner_start API of cpp-ethereum's JSON-RPC due to improper authorization. A remote attacker can make a specially crafted JSON request, gain access to the restricted functionality and bypass authorization.

7) Improper authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12118)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization on the target system.

The weakness exists in miner_stop API of cpp-ethereum's JSON-RPC due to improper authorization. A remote attacker can make a specially crafted JSON request, gain access to the restricted functionality and bypass authorization.

8) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12119)

CWE-ID: CWE-248 - Uncaught Exception

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in multiple APIs of CPP-Ethereum's JSON-RPC due to an insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can make a specially crafted JSON request, trigger a unhandled exception and cause the application to crash.

9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14457)
