Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37734)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger send a specially crafted GraphQL query and consume available CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service.


2) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22475)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error. A remote authenticated user can spoof identity of other application users.


3) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4104)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in JMSAppender, when the attacker has write access to the Log4j configuration. The attacker can provide TopicBindingName and TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configurations causing JMSAppender to perform JNDI requests that result in remote code execution.

Note this issue only affects Log4j 1.2 when specifically configured to use JMSAppender, which is not the default.


4) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22310)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of a weak cryptographic algorithms. A remote attacker can intercept and decrypt traffic.


5) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39031)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DLAP queries. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to modify the original LDAP query and gain unauthorized access to the application.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5258)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Cluster: Packaging (dojo) component in MySQL Cluster. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8331)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


8) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44228)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing LDAP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Note, we are aware of attackers exploiting the vulnerability in the wild.
