4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8184)
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 ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() function. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25026)
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 requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47554)
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 untrusted input passed to the org.apache.commons.io.input.XmlStreamReader class. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31442)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to async-dns resolver (used by Discovery in DNS mode and transitively by Cluster Bootstrap) uses predictable DNS transaction IDs when resolving DNS records. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27268)
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.
9) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22354)
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.
10) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40094)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to GraphQL Java (aka graphql-java) does not properly consider ExecutableNormalizedFields (ENFs) as part of preventing denial of service via introspection queries. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38264)
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.
12) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21085)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Concurrency component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
13) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21094)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
14) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36124)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due Snappy tries to read outside the bounds of the given byte arrays when uncompressing certain data. A remote attacker can create a non-deterministic behavior or crash the JVM.
15) Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-51504)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass IP-based authentication.
The vulnerability exists due to IPAuthenticationProvider is using the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header when authenticated users by IP address in the Admin Server. A remote attacker can pass a trusted IP addresses via the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header and gain unauthorized access to the application.
16) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7254)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing nested groups as unknown fields with DiscardUnknownFieldsParser or Java Protobuf Lite parser, or against Protobuf map fields. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application to create unbounded recursions and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
17) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27270)
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. 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.
18) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6763)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in HttpURI. A remote 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.
19) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22371)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when using a malicious EventFactory and providing a custom ExchangeCreatedEven. A remote user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
20) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22353)
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.
21) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50312)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to weaker than expected security for outbound TLS connections caused by a failure to honor user configuration. An adjacent attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
22) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22329)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote 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.
