Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13936)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker with ability to modify Velocity templates can inject and execute arbitrary Java code on the system with the same privileges as the account running the Servlet container.
2) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39239)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
3) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28890)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input in the RDF/XML parser. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40152)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the Woodstox XML parser. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40151)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error if the parser is running on user supplied input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
