Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9488)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the Apache Log4j SMTP appender does not validate SSL certificates. A remote attacker can perform a MitM attack, intercept and decrypt network traffic.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11022)

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 regex operation in "jQuery.htmlPrefilter". A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application that uses .html()</code>, <code>.append() or similar methods for it and execute arbitrary JavaScript 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.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14824)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to a crash the entire system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Infrastructure component in Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to a crash the entire system.


4) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9546)

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 between serialization gadgets and typing. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Note: This vulnerability is related to:

  • org.apache.hadoop.shaded.com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig (aka shaded hikari-config)

5) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10683)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to abuse implemented functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to dom4j allows by default external DTDs and External Entities. A remote attacker can abuse this functionality and perform XXE attack against application that uses dom4j default configuration.
