Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Use of Password Hash Instead of Password for Authentication
EUVDB-ID: #VU69691
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46146
CWE-ID:
CWE-836 - Use of Password Hash Instead of Password for Authentication
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of basic authentication. A remote attacker with knowledge of the password hash can authenticate against Prometheus without actual knowledge of the password.
Install updates from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Type Confusion
EUVDB-ID: #VU71992
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286
CWE-ID:
CWE-843 - Type confusion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.
In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.

3) Double Free
EUVDB-ID: #VU74824
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1999
CWE-ID:
CWE-415 - Double Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in libwebp. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted page, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

4) OS Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU74578
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28617
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the org-babel-execute:latex in ob-latex.el when processing file or directory names. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system via a file name or directory name that contains shell metacharacters.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
