Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4189)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

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


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library when using it in PASV (passive) mode. A remote attacker can set up a malicious FTP server, trick the FTP client in Python into connecting back to a given IP address and port, which can lead to FTP client scanning ports which otherwise would not have been possible.


2) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0391)

CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data within the urllib.parse module in Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.
