Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5072)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20873)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to security features bypass. A remote attacker can cause security bypass on the target system.
3) Authorization bypass through user-controlled key (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44981)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.
The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of SASL Quorum Peer authentication. The instance part in SASL authentication ID, which is listed in zoo.cfg server
list, is optional and if it's missing,
the authorization check will be skipped. As a
result an arbitrary endpoint could join the cluster and begin
propagating counterfeit changes to the leader, essentially giving it
complete read-write access to the data tree.
4) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46751)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
5) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2976)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions in com.google.common.io.FileBackedOutputStream. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.
6) Insufficient entropy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31582)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to brute-force JWT token.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of insufficient entropy when generating JWT token. A remote attacker can brute-force the JWT token and gain unauthorized access to the application.
7) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33201)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in applications that use an LDAP CertStore from Bouncy Castle to validate X.509 certificates. During the certificate validation process, Bouncy Castle inserts the certificate's Subject Name into an LDAP search filter without any escaping, which leads to an LDAP injection vulnerability. A remote non-authenticated attacker can use a specially crafted X.509 certificate to bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42445)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
11) Incorrect permission assignment for critical resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44387)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way Gradle sets permissions when copying or archiving symlinked files. A local user can set permissions on the symlinks that will be applied to the linked files.
