Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-29087)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the concat_ws() function. A remote attacker who can control the separator argument can pass an on overly large string to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57319)

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 information disclosure or data manipulation.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29499)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-58754)

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

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits within data: URL decode. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


5) Use of cache containing sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57752)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper cache management in Image Optimization API. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive images cached by the application. 


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-55173)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the Image Optimization feature. A remote attacker with control over external image sources can trigger file downloads with arbitrary content and filenames under specific configurations and perform phishing attacks.


7) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-57822)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when next() is used without explicitly passing the request object. 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.


8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35195)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False. A local administrator can bypass authentication.


9) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22874)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in crypto/x509 when using ExtKeyUsageAny. When calling Verify with a VerifyOptions.KeyUsages that contains ExtKeyUsageAny it disables policy validation.

This only affected certificate chains which contain policy graphs, which are rather uncommon.
