Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-14914)
The vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote privileged user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29371)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote attacker can cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with an exceptionally high compression ratio. When this token is processed by the server, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-12635)
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 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.
