Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31542)

CWE-ID: CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload via the MultiPartParser, UploadedFile, and FieldFile methods. A remote attacker can upload a file with a specially crafted filename containing directory traversal characters and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28658)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in MultiPartParser. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted files with suitably crafted file names and read arbitrary files on the system.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23336)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform web cache spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in django.utils.http.limited_parse_qsl() when parsing strings with a semicolon (";"). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a spoofing attack.


4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3281)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences inside archives with "django.utils.archive.extract()" function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted archive to the application and write files to arbitrary directory on the system.
