Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3795)

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.


3) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43307)

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.


4) 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.


5) 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.



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) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7753)

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.


8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0235)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the application follows the "Location" HTTP header redirect and passes authorization cookie to a third-party resource. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.


9) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15168)

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

The vulnerability exists due to node-fetch does not honor the size option after following a redirect. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service attack.

10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2596)

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.


11) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0155)

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 gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


12) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0536)

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 gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
