Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41900)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the revocation process. If a Jetty OpenIdAuthenticator uses the optional nested LoginService, and that LoginService decides to revoke an already authenticated user, then the current request will still treat the user as authenticated.
2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40167)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling the "+" character passed via the HTTP/1 header field. 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.
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-43642)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to missing upper bound check on chunk length. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41040)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when reading from the ".git" directory. A remote attacker can prepare a specially crafted ".git" file with directory traversal characters in file names and force the application to read these files from the local system. This can result in checking for existence of a specific files on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. 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.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36479)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet when quoting a command before its execution. A remote user can force the application to execute arbitrary file on the server and potentially compromise the system.
