Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40712)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A local user with access to the system and a low-privileged account within the application can escalate privileges on the system.


2) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40714)

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation. A remote attacker on the same network can intercept credentials during restore operations and gain unauthorized access to the application.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39718)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to delete arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote authenticated user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and delete arbitrary files on the system with elevated privileges.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40710)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified vulnerabilities. A remote authenticated user can gain access to sensitive information and compromise the system.


5) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40713)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass multi-factor authentication.

The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error within the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) implementation. A remote user can alter Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings and bypass MFA.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40711)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Red


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
