Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12727)

CWE-ID: CWE-89 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

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:Red


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected appliance and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and execute arbitrary code remotely if a specific configuration of Secure PDF eXchange (SPX) is enabled in combination with the firewall running in High Availability (HA) mode.


2) Use of Weak Credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12728)

CWE-ID: CWE-1391 - Use of Weak Credentials

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:Red


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

The vulnerability exists due to the suggested and non-random SSH login passphrase for High Availability (HA) cluster initialization remained active after the HA establishment process completed. A remote attacker can use this passphrase to connect to devices using SSH and compromise the affected system.


3) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12729)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the User Portal. A remote authenticated user can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
