Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1010266)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the software does not properly parse user-supplied input in the Date Handler component. A remote authenticated attacker can send long strings that submit malicious input, which the library attempts to match using a regular expression and consume excessive amounts of CPU resources and cause a DoS condition.


2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10744)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify properties on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the "defaultsDeep" function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and modify the prototype of "Object" via "{constructor: {prototype: {...}}}" causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.



3) Prototype polution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8203)

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 using _.zipObjectDeep in lodash. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary script code.

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.


4) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the merge, mergeWith, and defaultsDeep functions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and add or modify properties of Object.prototype.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the affected application.


5) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23337)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary commands on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing templates. A remote privileged user can inject and execute arbitrary commands on the system.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3721)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to manipulate data.

lodash node module before 4.17.5 suffers from a Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) vulnerability via defaultsDeep, merge, and mergeWith functions, which allows a malicious user to modify the prototype of "Object" via __proto__, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.


7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1012)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient randomization in the net/ipv4/tcp.c when calculating port offsets in Linux kernel cause by small table perturb size. A remote attacker can cause memory leak and gain access to sensitive information.


8) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28500)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
