Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4626)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


2) CVS Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4627)

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

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:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code into CSV files.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary code into a CSV file.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4625)

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:N/VC:L/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 the failure to set the HTTPOnly flag. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


4) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4624)

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the affected software uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms during negotiation. A remote attacker can decrypt sensitive information.


5) Session Fixation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4696)

CWE-ID: CWE-384 - Session Fixation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sesntive information in the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session invalidation issue. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information from the previous session
