Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cleartext storage of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40724)

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

The vulnerability exists due to user credentials are found in memory as plaintext. A local user can get access to user credentials.


2) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40725)

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

The vulnerability exists due to affected application returns inconsistent error messages in response to invalid user credentials during login session. A local attacker can enumerate usernames, and identify valid usernames.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40726)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the affected application server responds with sensitive information about the server. A remote user can directly access the database.


4) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40727)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to weak outdated application signing mechanism in the QMS.Mobile module. A local user can tamper the application code.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40728)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the affected application stores sensitive application data in an external insecure storage wirhin the QMS.Mobile module. A remote attacker can alter content, leading to arbitrary code execution or denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40729)

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

The vulnerability exists due to software uses insecure communication channel to transmit sensitive information. A remote attacker with ability to intercept network traffic can gain access to sensitive data.


7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40730)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the QMS.Mobile module. A remote user can access confidential information, perform administrative functions or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40731)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload. A remote user can upload a malicious file and execute it on the server.


9) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40732)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient session expiration issue in the QMS.Mobile module. A local user can perform session hijacking attacks.
