EUVDB-ID: #VU87615

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52428

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user requests by the PasswordBasedDecrypter (PBKDF2) component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request using a large JWE p2c header, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

EUVDB-ID: #VU89919

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4029

CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the lack of limitation of sockets for the management interface. A local administrator can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform: 8.0 - 8.0.3

CPE2.3

External links

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:8826

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Improper input validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU65495

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.9 [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:P/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34169

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets. A remote non-authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute arbitrary Java bytecode.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

5) Open redirect

EUVDB-ID: #VU97622

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8883

CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to a misconfiguration when handling redirects. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain if a 'Valid Redirect URI' is set to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

6) Improper verification of cryptographic signature

EUVDB-ID: #VU97621

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 7.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8698

CWE-ID: CWE-347 - Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of SAML signature within the Keycloak XMLSignatureUtil class. The method incorrectly determines whether a SAML signature is for the full document or only for specific assertions based on the position of the signature in the XML document, rather than the Reference element used to specify the signed element. A remote user can create crafted responses that bypass the validation, potentially leading to privilege escalation or impersonation attacks.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
