Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-46604
DESCRIPTION: Apache ActiveMQ and ActiveMQ Legacy OpenWire Module could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in the class types in the OpenWire protocol. By sending specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/269795 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-0105
DESCRIPTION: Keycloak could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the handling of email trust. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to shadow other users with the same email and lockout or impersonate them.
CVSS Base score: 6.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/244697 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2018-25031
DESCRIPTION: swagger-ui could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted URL, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to display remote OpenAPI definitions.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/217346 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-32342
DESCRIPTION: IBM GSKit could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. By sending an overly large number of trial messages for decryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 255828.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/255828 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
IBM X-Force ID: 264654
DESCRIPTION: Apache ActiveMQ NMS could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in the Body accessor method. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
