Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32212)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to IsIPAddress does not properly checks if an IP address is invalid or not. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32213)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32214)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32215)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


5) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35255)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak randomness in WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/crypto_keygen.cc. A remote attacker can decrypt sensitive information.


6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35256)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


7) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active --inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
