Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26318)
CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
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:A/U:Red
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted XML-RPC request to the /agent/ endpoint and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25290)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote user to obtain private certificate keys.
The vulnerability exists due to missing permissions checks. A remote authenticated user can retrieve certificate private keys.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25291)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow. A remote user can initiate a firmware update with a malicious upgrade image, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25292)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in wgagent. A remote user can initiate a firmware update with a malicious upgrade image, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25293)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in systemd. A remote user can initiate a firmware update with a malicious upgrade image, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25360)
CWE-ID: CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload. A remote user can upload a malicious file and execute it on the server.
7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25363)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote user to modify credentials of other users.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote user can modify privileged management user credentials and compromise the affected system.
