Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-32214
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230658 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-42004
DESCRIPTION: FasterXML jackson-databind is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a lack of a check in in the BeanDeserializer._deserializeFromArray function. By sending a specially-crafted request using deeply nested arrays, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/237660 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-42003
DESCRIPTION: FasterXML jackson-databind is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a lack of a check in the primitive value deserializers when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. By sending a specially-crafted request using deep wrapper array nesting, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/237662 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2014-3004
DESCRIPTION: Castor Library could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) error when processing XML data. By sending specially-crafted XML data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/93519 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-32213
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to correctly parse and validate Transfer-Encoding headers by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230657 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-32215
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230659 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-32212
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to properly check if an IP address is invalid or not by IsIPAddress. By controlling the victim's DNS server or spoofing its responses, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230660 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2022-34165
DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 and IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty 17.0.0.3 through 22.0.0.9 are vulnerable to HTTP header injection, caused by improper validation. This could allow an attacker to conduct various attacks against the vulnerable system, including cache poisoning and cross-site scripting. IBM X-Force ID: 229429.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/229429 for the current score.

Remediation/Fixes
Any open source library may be included in one or more sub-components of IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. Open source updates are not always synchronized across all components. The CVEs in this bulletin are specifically addressed by
| CVE ID | Addressed in component |
|---|---|
| CVE-2022-42003 CVE-2022-42004 | Business Automation Workflow component (Process Federation Server) |
| CVE-2014-3004 |
Business Automation Studio component, Business Automation Workflow component, Workflow Process Service component Note that the CVE was previously assessed as not applicable for the specific use in these components. The fix updates the castor library default configuration to ensure that future use of the library configures XML parsers to prevent XML entity expansion unless explicitly requested. |

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.
