Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1661)

CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

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


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 specially crafted web page and execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1677)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of full file system. A local attacker can cause a denial of service.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1665)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to weak cryptographic algorithms. A remote attacker can decrypt highly sensitive information.


4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1667)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

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


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can edit new comments from higher-privileged users, 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.


5) Man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1663)

CWE-ID: CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct MITM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the failure to properly enable HTTP Strict Transport Security. A remote attacker can use man-in-the-middle techniques and gain access to potentially sensitive information.


6) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1652)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

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


The vulnerability allows a local unprivileged attacker to cause DoS condition.

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified flaw. A local attacker can cause the service to crash.
