Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-45688
DESCRIPTION: Hutool is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by stack-based buffer overflow. By persuading a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CWE: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-28439
DESCRIPTION: CKEditor4 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the Iframe Dialog and Media Embed plugins. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the iframe element to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CWE: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 4.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-33201
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java (bc-java) could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by not validating the X.500 name of any certificate in the implementation of the X509LDAPCertStoreSpi.java class. By using blind LDAP injection attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE: CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-41900
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper authentication validation when using the optional nested LoginService. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass access restrictions.
CWE: CWE-1390: Weak Authentication
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 3.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-36479
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.
CWE: CWE-149: Improper Neutralization of Quoting Syntax
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 3.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-40167
DESCRIPTION: Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper parsing of the HTTP/1 request header. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CWE: CWE-130: Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-36478
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow and buffer allocation in MetaDataBuilder.checkSize. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-5072
DESCRIPTION: JSON-java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a bug in the parser. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-26048
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out of memory flaw in the HttpServletRequest.getParameter() or HttpServletRequest.getParts() function. By sending a specially crafted multipart request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2023-26049
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw during nonstandard cookie parsing. By sending a specially crafted request to tamper with the cookie parsing mechanism, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain values from other cookies, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE: CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 4.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

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.
