Description

This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46234)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the dsaVerify() function when validating public keys. A remote attacker can construct a public key in a way that it will be accepted as valid by the affected application and perform spoofing attack.


2) 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.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10775)

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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10703)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-9242)

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

The vulnerability exists due to certain input strings when passed to new Date() or Date.parse() will cause v8 to raise an exception. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2421)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.


7) Uncaught Exception (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32695)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper error handling. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Socket.IO packet to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-20162)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions in the function parse of the file index.js.. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


9) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-20165)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions in the function useColors of the file src/node.js. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


10) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-16137)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


11) 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.

12) 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.


13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
