Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20453)
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.
2) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20454)
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.
3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5258)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Cluster: Packaging (dojo) component in MySQL Cluster. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20480)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
5) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-26296)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient CSRF protection mechanism. A remote attacker can guess the CSRF token, trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5016)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote user can send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary xml files on the system.
7) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20354)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
8) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-4949)
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.
