Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1098)

CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

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


The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct cross-site request forgery attack and gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper validation of HTTP POST requests. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website and gain privileges of the target user.

2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1099)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper validation of DNS hostnames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests, bypass security restrictions and gain network access to internal systems.

3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34038)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the PageWriter.write() method in pagewriter.go. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28235)

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

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:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization to the "/debug" feature. A remote non-authenticated attacker can access the "/debug/requests" endpoint and gain unauthorized access to the application.


5) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-2823)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

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:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the debug function. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to exploit this vulnerability and gain elevated privileges.
