Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Information exposure through externally-generated error message (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26272)

CWE-ID: CWE-211 - Externally-generated error message containing sensitive information

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the Guardium Cloud Key Manager (GCKM) while handling error conditions. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information on the system.


2) Improper control of interaction frequency (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26271)

CWE-ID: CWE-799 - Improper Control of Interaction Frequency

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a brute-force attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an inadequate account lockout setting in the Guardium Cloud Key Manager (GCKM). A remote attacker can perform a brute-force attack.


3) Angular template injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26270)

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute angular template.
