Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7774)

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

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:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary JavaScript code.



2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22918)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/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 a boundary condition in uv__idna_toascii() function in libuv, which is used to convert strings to ASCII. A remote attacker can force the application to resolve a specially crafted hostname, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23362)

CWE-ID: CWE-185 - Incorrect Regular Expression

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:P/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expression "shortcutMatch" in the "fromUrl" function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


4) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27290)

CWE-ID: CWE-185 - Incorrect Regular Expression

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/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 incorrect processing of SRIs. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack.
