Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22897
CWE-ID:
CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force applications use weak cryptographic ciphers.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when selecting TLS ciphers during connection via the CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST option in libcurl. The selected cipher set was stored in a single "static" variable in the library that is used for multiple concurrent transfers within the specific application, the last one that sets the ciphers will accidentally control the set used by all transfers.
The vulnerability can be triggered when Schannel is used, which is the native TLS library in Microsoft Windows.

5) XML External Entity injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU55148
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22922
CWE-ID:
CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

6) Improper Certificate Validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU55147
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22926
CWE-ID:
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the CURLOPT_SSLCERT option mixup with TLS library Secure Transport. A remote attacker can create a file name with the same name as the app wants to use by name, and thereby trick the application to use the file based cert instead of the one referred to by name making libcurl send the wrong client certificate in the TLS connection handshake.

7) Insufficient verification of data authenticity
EUVDB-ID: #VU56615
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22947
CWE-ID:
CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
Exploit availability: No
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists in the way libcurl handles the STARTTLS negotiation process. When curl connects to an IMAP, POP3, SMTP or FTP server to exchange data securely using STARTTLS to upgrade the connection to TLS level, the server can still respond and send back multiple responses before the TLS upgrade. Such multiple "pipelined" responses are cached by curl. curl would then upgrade to TLS but not flush the in-queue of cached responses and instead use and trust the responses it got before the TLS handshake as if they were authenticated.
Using this flaw, it allows a Man-In-The-Middle attacker to first inject the fake responses, then pass-through the TLS traffic from the legitimate server and trick curl into sending data back to the user thinking the attacker's injected data comes from the TLS-protected server.
Over POP3 and IMAP an attacker can inject fake response data.

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52425
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28757
CWE-ID:
CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
