Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) XXE attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-1832)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to conduct XXE attack.
The weakness exists due to XML external entity error. Via vectors involving XmlVTI and the XML datatype context-dependent attackers can view arbitrary files that may lead to denial of service.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can result in potentially sensitive information disclosure and denial of service on the vulnerable system.

2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13936)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker with ability to modify Velocity templates can inject and execute arbitrary Java code on the system with the same privileges as the account running the Servlet container.



3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38398)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in DefaultExternalResourceSecurity when handling URLs loaded though jar protocol. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38648)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40146)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URLs in jar files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27223)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the General (Eclipse Jetty) component in Oracle REST Data Services. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2047)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing invalid URIs such as http://localhost;/path. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and bypass implemented security restrictions, as the Jetty's HttpClient, and Jetty's ProxyServlet / AsyncProxyServlet / AsyncMiddleManServlet will wrongly interpret an authority of such URI as the one with a hostname.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28169)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a double decoding issue when parsing URI with certain characters. A remote attacker can send requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter and view contents of protected resources within the WEB-INF directory.

Example:

/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml


9) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2009-4269)

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

The vulnerability exists due to password hash generation algorithm in the BUILTIN authentication functionality for Apache Derby performs a transformation that reduces the size of the set of inputs to SHA-1. A local attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


10) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-2232)

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 bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the application.


11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26049)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when parsing cookies. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a cookie value that starts with a double quote and force the application to read the cookie string until it sees a closing quote. Such behavior can be used to exfiltrate sensitive values from other cookies.


12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28165)

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 when processing large TLS frames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the server, trigger CPU high load and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5784)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Axis did not verify that the server host name matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name.


14) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0227)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Core (Apache Axis) component in Oracle Communications Design Studio. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.


15) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3596)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5784. <a href="http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/297.html" target="_blank">CWE-297: Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch</a>


16) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8032)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists in the default servlet/services 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.


17) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10683)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to abuse implemented functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to dom4j allows by default external DTDs and External Entities. A remote attacker can abuse this functionality and perform XXE attack against application that uses dom4j default configuration.


18) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29599)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing double-quoted strings. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
