Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8162)
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:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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 in ActiveStorage's S3 adapter. A remote attacker can control the Content-Length of an S3 direct upload URL without receiving a new signature from the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8164)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the return value of "each", or "each_value", or "each_pair" will return the underlying "untrusted" hash of data that was read from the parameters. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
3) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8165)
CWE-ID: CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in the "MemCacheStore" and "RedisCacheStore". A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application using the "raw: true" parameter and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8166)
CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/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 in the "authenticity_token" meta tag. 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.
5) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8167)
CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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 crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.
This is a regression of CVE-2015-1840.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15169)
CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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 Action View's translation helpers. 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.
