Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.


2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24540)

CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing whitespace characters. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary JavaScript code.


3) Overly permissive cross-domain whitelist (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1996)

CWE-ID: CWE-942 - Overly Permissive Cross-domain Whitelist

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass the CORS protection mechanism.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of the "Origin" HTTP header that is supplied within HTTP request. A remote attacker can supply arbitrary value via the "Origin" HTTP header, bypass implemented CORS protection mechanism and perform cross-site scripting attacks against the vulnerable application.
