The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to software stores secrets in memory in plain text. A local user can read the memory and obtain passwords in plain text when PAM is used to perform authentication.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: 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


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 if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.


5) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41915)

CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')

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 perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not validate header values when calling DefaultHttpHeaders.set with an iterator of values. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary header values and perform HTTP splitting attacks.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41881)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: 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


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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the HaProxyMessageDecoder when parsing a TLV with type of "PP2_TYPE_SSL". A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted message to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


7) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33546)

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

CVSSv4: 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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when using the expression evaluator.guess parameter name method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12900)

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

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 execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the BZ2_decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it using the affected library, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

9) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52316)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing authentication requests. If Tomcat was configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not have failed, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process.


10) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52317)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

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:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 responses, which causes request and/or response mix-up between users. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a series of HTTP/2 requests and gain access to sensitive information.


11) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52318)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

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


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 in generated JSPs. 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.


12) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35116)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Oracle Database Fleet Patching and Provisioning (jackson-databind) in Oracle Database Server. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


13) Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-51504)

CWE-ID: CWE-290 - Authentication Bypass by Spoofing

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 bypass IP-based authentication.

The vulnerability exists due to IPAuthenticationProvider is using the X-Forwarded-For HTTP  header when authenticated users by IP address in the Admin Server. A remote attacker can pass a trusted IP addresses via the X-Forwarded-For HTTP  header and gain unauthorized access to the application.


14) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23454)

CWE-ID: CWE-276 - Incorrect Default Permissions

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