Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1010266)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the software does not properly parse user-supplied input in the Date Handler component. A remote authenticated attacker can send long strings that submit malicious input, which the library attempts to match using a regular expression and consume excessive amounts of CPU resources and cause a DoS condition.
2) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28500)
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 can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
3) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16487)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the merge, mergeWith, and defaultsDeep functions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and add or modify properties of Object.prototype.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of the affected application.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-3721)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to manipulate data.
lodash node module before 4.17.5 suffers from a Modification of Assumed-Immutable Data (MAID) vulnerability via defaultsDeep, merge, and mergeWith functions, which allows a malicious user to modify the prototype of "Object" via __proto__, causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
5) Prototype polution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8203)
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 when using _.zipObjectDeep in lodash. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary script code.
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.
6) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23337)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary commands on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing templates. A remote privileged user can inject and execute arbitrary commands on the system.
7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1074)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to certain Windows folders with local service privileges are vulnerable to symbolic link following attack. A local user can create a symbolic link to a critical resource and gain access to sensitive information.
8) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10744)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify properties on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the "defaultsDeep" function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and modify the prototype of "Object" via "{constructor: {prototype: {...}}}" causing the addition or modification of an existing property that will exist on all objects.
