Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch
EUVDB-ID: #VU59549
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44532
CWE-ID:
CWE-297 - Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificates, when converting SANs (Subject Alternative Names) to a string format. A remote attacker can inject special characters into the string and perform spoofing attack.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsIBM Watson Discovery for IBM Cloud Pak for Data: before 4.0.9
CPE2.3 External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Path traversal
EUVDB-ID: #VU62463
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24785
CWE-ID:
CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the npm version of Moment.js. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

3) Improper Certificate Validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU59548
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44531
CWE-ID:
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URI Subject
Alternative Names. Node.js accepts arbitrary Subject Alternative Name
(SAN) types, unless a PKI
is specifically defined to use a particular SAN type. A remote attacker
can bypass name-constrained intermediates and perform spoofing attack.

4) Prototype pollution
EUVDB-ID: #VU59551
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21824
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the formatting logic of the console.table() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and assign an empty string to numerical keys of the object prototype.
