Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Spectrum Symphony with Node.js various security issues
Vulnerability Details
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper access control. By sending a specially-crafted request using ICU_DATA environment variable, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to search and potentially load ICU data.
CVSS Base score: 2.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247694 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-30581
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the use of proto in process.mainModule.proto.require(). By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass experimental policy mechanism.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258615 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-30587
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. By exploiting the Worker class's ability to create an "internal worker" with the kIsInternal Symbol, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to modify the isInternal value when an inspector is attached within the Worker constructor before initializing a new WorkerImpl.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258618 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-23919
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations. By sending specially-crafted cryptographic operations, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247697 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-30588
DESCRIPTION: Node.js is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by invalid public key information in x509 certificates. By accessing public key info of provided certificates from user code, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to force interruptions of application processing and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258623 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-30584
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a path traversal bypass when verifying file permissions. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the experimental permission model.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/258617 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
IBM X-Force ID: 259772
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to respect whether the relevant directories use case-insensitive path processing by process.permission.deny(). By using case-insensitive paths and changing capitalization, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass permission model restrictions.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/259772 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)
IBM X-Force ID: 256137
DESCRIPTION: FasterXML Jackson Core is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation by the StreamReadConstraints value field. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/256137 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
IBM X-Force ID: 259087
DESCRIPTION: Node.js @strapi/plugin-users-permissions module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by using the AWS Cognito login provider's None signing algorithm during the OAuth flow. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass authentication.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/259087 for the current score.

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.
