Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22354)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
2) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-49352)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and expose sensitive information or consume memory resources.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
3) Improper privilege management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41942)
The vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to `admin:users` is equivalent to `admin=True`, which is not intended. A remote privileged user can escalate their own privileges by making themselves a full admin user
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22353)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27268)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15010)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker that is able to make an HTTP request using a specially crafted cookie may cause the application to consume an excessive amount of CPU.
7) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37920)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exist due to software recognizes "e-Tugra" root certificates, which were subject to an investigation prompted by reporting of security issues in their systems. An attacker with ability to generate certificates signed with the compromised "e-Tugra" root certificate can perform MitM attack.
8) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23491)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certificate validation checks.
The vulnerability exists due to presence of the TrustCor certificate in the Root Certificates list. the certificate is removed due to TrustCor's ownership also operated a business that produced spyware. Therefore, any checks that rely on digital signatures of trusted certificates were compromised.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25026)
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 when handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50314)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can use a certificate issued by a trusted authority to obtain sensitive information.
