Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53907)
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 within the django.utils.html.strip_tags() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53908)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the django.db.models.fields.json.HasKey() function in Oracle lookup. 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.
3) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8775)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
4) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9287)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the venv module when creating a virtual environment. A local user can pass specially crafted strings to the application and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
5) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9902)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error within the ansible-core `user` module. A local user can silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11168)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of bracketed hosts (e.g. []) within the urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted IP address to the application to bypass implemented IP-based security checks or perform SSRF attacks.
7) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45296)
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. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
8) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45801)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution, which can result in XSS attack.
