Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Interpretation Conflict (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56339)
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 bypass security restrictions caused by a failure to honor security configuration.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-31672)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate file parsing behavior.
The vulnerability stems from the way Apache POI handles zip entries in OOXML format files. When duplicate file names (including paths) exist within the zip structure, different products may select different zip entries with the same name, leading to inconsistent data interpretation. A remote attacker can manipulate file parsing behavior through specially crafted OOXML files containing ZIP entries with duplicate file names. This manipulation can result in inconsistent data processing across different systems, potentially leading to security issues and data integrity concerns.
3) XML Entity Expansion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23926)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing XML data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML data to the application and perform XML Entity Expansion attacks.
4) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-30359)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the application handles script tags. Because the request for classic script by a script tag is not subject to same origin policy, an attacker can inject in their site and run the script. Note that the attacker has to know the port and the output entrypoint script path. Combined with prototype pollution, the attacker can get a reference to the webpack runtime variables. By using Function::toString against the values in __webpack_modules__, the attacker can get the source code.
5) Missing Origin Validation in WebSockets (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14732)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to missing origin validation on the WebSocket interface in lib/Server.js. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a malicious website that can open a WebSocket connection to localhost and access component source code.
6) Origin validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-30360)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect Origin validation in webpack-dev-server/lib/Server.js. A remote attacker can trick the application into connecting to a malicious website with a non-Chromium browser and and share its source code with it, a.k.a. cross-site WebSocket hijacking.
7) Improper Handling of Unexpected Data Type (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-7339)
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 inadvertently modify response headers when an array is passed to `response.writeHead()`
8) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3574)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted OOXML file to the affected application and perform a denial of service attack.
9) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3529)
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.
10) XML Entity Expansion (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5644)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A local user can pass a specially crafted OOXML file to the affected application and perform a denial of service attack.
11) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-54798)
The vulnerability allows a local user to modify data on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an insecure link following issue. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47764)
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.
13) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43788)
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 AutoPublicPathRuntimeModule. 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.
14) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47068)
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. A remote user 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.
15) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4067)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs in `micromatch.braces()` in `index.js` because the pattern `.*` will greedily match anything. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
