Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43138)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges within the application.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling data passed via the mapValues() method. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and escalate privileges within the application.
2) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37599)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the resourcePath variable to interpolateName() function in interpolateName.js. 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-2022-37601)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform prototype pollution attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the parseQuery() function in parseQuery.js. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000048)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
the web framework using ljharb's qs module older than v6.3.2, v6.2.3, v6.1.2, and v6.0.4 is vulnerable to a DoS. A malicious user can send a evil request to cause the web framework crash.
5) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22959)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests, where the application accepts requests with a space right after the header name before the colon. 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.
6) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24999)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39135)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue. A local attacker can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.
8) Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25878)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify data on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to Prototype Pollution error in protobufjs. A remote unauthenticated attacker can provide an untrusted user input to the util.setProperty or to the ReflectionObject.setParsedOption functions, and also by parse/load .proto files to modify data on the system.
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33987)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to requested URLs are not verified and allow open redirection to a local UNIX socket. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
