Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can
resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active
--inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS
rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
2) 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.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-42550)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system by tricking the application to load a malicious configuration from a remote LDAP server.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38561)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32149)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to ParseAcceptLanguage does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header that will take a significant time to parse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
