Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39332)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in paths stored in Uint8Array. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
2) Improper validation of integrity check value (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38552)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the policy feature, which checks the integrity of a resource against a trusted manifest. An application can intercept the operation and return a forged checksum to node's policy implementation, thus effectively disabling the integrity check.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39333)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in an imported WebAssembly module when processing export names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted export names to the application and execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the system.
4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39331)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient patch for #VU77594 (CVE-2023-30584). A remote user can send a specially crafted request and read arbitrary files on the system.
