Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7676)

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 wrapping "<option>" elements in "<select>" ones changes parsing behavior. A remote authenticated 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) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8908)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions for files located in the temporary directory set by the Guava com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir(). A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.


3) Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14302)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Keycloak hadles authentication via external identity providers. After successful authentication the user is redirected to a Keycloak endpoint that accepts multiple invocations with the use of the same "state" parameter. A remote attacker can perform a replay attack and bypass authentication process.


4) Comparison using wrong factors (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28052)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to brute-force password hashes.

The vulnerability exists due to comparison error in OpenBSDBCrypt.checkPassword() function in core/src/main/java/org/bouncycastle/crypto/generators/OpenBSDBCrypt.java when matching passwords with hashes. A remote attacker can pass an incorrect password that will be accepted as a valid one by the library, bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application that uses vulnerable version of Bouncy Castle.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35510)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing EJB client requests. A remote user can send specially crafted EJB message to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20220)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when processing HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2  protocols. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20250)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote non-authenticated attacker can  gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.


8) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10687)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when processing HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
