Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39338)

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.


2) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.


3) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23727)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to celery by default trusts the messages and metadata stored in backends (result stores). A remote user can trigger the vulnerability and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
