Description
This security bulletin contains information about 24 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46364)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing the href attribute of XOP:Include in MTOM requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20883)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable if all of the conditions are true:
- The application has Spring MVC auto-configuration enabled. This is the case by default if Spring MVC is on the classpath.
- The application makes use of Spring Boot's welcome page support, either static or templated.
- Your application is deployed behind a proxy which caches 404 responses.
3) Uncaught Exception (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32695)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1436)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when constructing a JSONArray from a Collection that contains a self-reference in one of its elements. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28955)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1259)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for #VU58177 (CVE-2021-3629).
9) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30861)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to missing Vary: Cookie header. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20861)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of SpEL expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20863)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can use a specially crafted SpEL expression and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0482)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure creation of temporary files. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20860)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an input validation error caused by using the wildcard ("**") as a pattern in Spring Security configuration with the mvcRequestMatcher, which creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring MVC. A remote attacker can bypass certain security restrictions.
14) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28155)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
15) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1370)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing nested arrays and objects. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the undertow client does not check the server identity presented by the server certificate in https connections. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
17) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286)
The 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.
18) Uncaught Exception (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31125)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform denial of service attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to an uncaught exception. A remote user can send specially crafted HTTP request to trigger the vulnerability and perform denial of service attacks.
19) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45787)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper laxist permissions on the temporary files. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
20) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
21) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28959)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing network packets. A remote attacker on the local broadcast domain can send a malformed packet to the device, causing all PFEs other than the inbound PFE to wedge and to eventually restart.
22) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
23) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat does not set the "Secure" attribute for the JSESSIONID session cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https. A remote attacker can force the application to transmit cookie via an insecure channel and intercept it.
24) Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution') (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0842)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
