Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24680)
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 in intcomma template filter. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23829)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. 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) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23334)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in aiohttp.web.static(follow_symlinks=True). A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
Request examples:
For windows: /static/../D:\flag.txt Poc
For Linux: /static/../../../../etc/passwd
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22195)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the xmlattr filter. 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.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49083)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when calling the load_pem_pkcs7_certificates() or load_der_pkcs7_certificates() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted PKCS7 blob/certificate certificate to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47627)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when AIOHTTP_NO_EXTENSIONS is enabled. 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.
7) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46137)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. 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.
8) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45857)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.
9) 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.
10) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27351)
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 django.utils.text.Truncator.words(). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
11) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1394)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code when handling untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform denial of service attack.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326)
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 handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.
