Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23083)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

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


The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions when handling diagnostics data with diagnostics_channel utility. A remote user can hook the utility to internal workers and gain access to sensitive information.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23084)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error in path.join API when processing drive names in the Windows environment. A local user with ability to alter Windows drive names can escalate privileges on the system.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-23085)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

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 DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak when a remote peer abruptly closes the socket without sending a GOAWAY notification. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


4) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52798)

CWE-ID: CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

CVSSv4: 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:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.

5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47764)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied cookies. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted cookie to the application and alter values passed to the application.
