Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6708)
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 within the jQuery(strInput) function that does not differentiate selectors from HTML. 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.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-9251)
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 a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary text/javascript responses 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) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15845)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists in Ruby due to insufficient validation of user-supplied files within File.fnmatch and File.fnmatch? functions when processing NUL byte in the filename. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the system.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16201)
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 within the WEBrick::HTTPAuth::DigestAuth in Ruby due to a regular expression issue. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
5) HTTP Response Splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16254)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP response splitting attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of CRLF sequences within the WEBrick in Ruby. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and perform a spoofing attack.
6) Code injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16255)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in lib/shell.rb in Ruby when processing Shell#[] and its alias Shell#test. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary Ruby code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8130)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in "Rake::FileList" when supplying a filename that begins with the pipe character "|". A remote unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
