IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.4, 12.0, and 12.1.0 and IBM Cognos Transformer 11.2.4, 12.0, and 12.1.0 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into the web user interface, which may alter the intended functionality and could lead to the disclosure of credentials within a trusted session.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 12.0, and 12.1.0 and IBM Cognos Transformer 12.0, 11.2.4, and 12.1.0 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Cognos Adminstration. This vulnerability allows a privileged user to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, 12.0.2, 12.0.3, and 12.0.4 could allow an authenticated user to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted request that would exhaust memory resources.

Impact

On Windows, the shared %PROGRAMDATA% directory is searched for configuration files (SYSTEMCONFIGPATH and SYSTEMJUPYTERPATH), which may allow users to create configuration files affecting other users.

Only shared Windows systems with multiple users and unprotected %PROGRAMDATA% are affected.

Mitigations

- upgrade to jupytercore>=5.8.1 (5.8.0 is patched but breaks jupyter-server) , or - as administrator, modify the permissions on the %PROGRAMDATA% directory so it is not writable by unauthorized users, or - as administrator, create the %PROGRAMDATA%\jupyter directory with appropriately restrictive permissions, or - as user or administrator, set the %PROGRAMDATA% environment variable to a directory with appropriately restrictive permissions (e.g. controlled by administrators or the current user)

IBM Semeru Runtime 8.0.302.0 through 8.0.442.0, 11.0.12.0 through 11.0.26.0, 17.0.0.0 through 17.0.14.0, and 21.0.0.0 through 12.0.6.0 is vulnerable to a denial of service caused by a buffer overflow and subsequent crash, due to a defect in its native AES/CBC encryption implementation.

In Eclipse OpenJ9 versions up to 0.51, when used with OpenJDK version 8 a stack based buffer overflow can be caused by modifying a file on disk that is read when the JVM starts.

An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Server: DDL component could allow a remote attacker to cause high confidentiality and high integrity impact.

corydolphin/flask-cors version 4.01 contains a vulnerability where the request path matching is case-insensitive due to the use of the trymatch function, which is originally intended for matching hosts. This results in a mismatch because paths in URLs are case-sensitive, but the regex matching treats them as case-insensitive. This misconfiguration can lead to significant security vulnerabilities, allowing unauthorized origins to access paths meant to be restricted, resulting in data exposure and potential data leaks.

Impact When a special crafted packet is received via SslHandler it doesn't correctly handle validation of such a packet in all cases which can lead to a native crash.

Workarounds As workaround its possible to either disable the usage of the native SSLEngine or changing the code from:

SslContext context = ...; SslHandler handler = context.newHandler(....);

to:

SslContext context = ...; SSLEngine engine = context.newEngine(....); SslHandler handler = new SslHandler(engine, ....);

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0, 11.2.1, 11.2.2, 11.2.3, 11.2.4, 12.0.0, 12.0.1, 12.0.2, 12.0.3, and 12.0.4 is vulnerable to an XML External Entity Injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or consume memory resources.

Apache Solr could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an insecure default initialization of resource flaw. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to load custom code into classloaders.

Impact If pdf.js is used to load a malicious PDF, and PDF.js is configured with isEvalSupported set to true (which is the default value), unrestricted attacker-controlled JavaScript will be executed in the context of the hosting domain.

Patches The patch removes the use of eval: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/pull/18015

Workarounds Set the option isEvalSupported to false.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.2 is vulnerable to injection attacks in application logging by not sanitizing user provided data. This could lead to further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 282956.

Due to the improper handling of batch files in childprocess.spawn / childprocess.spawnSync, a malicious command line argument can inject arbitrary commands and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.

An attacker can make the Node.js HTTP/2 server completely unavailable by sending a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside. It is possible to leave some data in nghttp2 memory after reset when headers with HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frame are sent to the server and then a TCP connection is abruptly closed by the client triggering the Http2Session destructor while header frames are still being processed (and stored in memory) causing a race condition.

Impact

When the following conditions are met: - Automated CSP headers generation for SSR content is enabled - The web application serves content that can be partially controlled by external users

Then it is possible that the CSP headers generation feature might be "allow-listing" malicious injected resources like inlined JS, or references to external malicious scripts.

Patches Available in version 1.3.0 .

Workarounds - Do not enable CSP headers generation. - Use it only for dynamically generated content that cannot be controlled by external users in any way.

Impact code execution on the user's machine

An issue in Clojure versions 1.20 to 1.12.0-alpha5 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) via the clojure.core$partial$fn5920 function.

Node.js could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the failure of setuid() to drop all privileges due to iouring. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform privileged operations.

Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper path traversal sequence sanitization. By using a path traversal attack, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability leading to filesystem permission model bypass.

Node.js could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a bug in the implementation of the exception of CAPNETBINDSERVICE. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject code that inherits the process's elevated privileges.

A vulnerability in Node.js HTTP servers allows an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request with chunked encoding, leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service (DoS). The server reads an unbounded number of bytes from a single connection, exploiting the lack of limitations on chunk extension bytes. The issue can cause CPU and network bandwidth exhaustion, bypassing standard safeguards like timeouts and body size limits.

A vulnerability in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library, allowed a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling. The vulnerability revealed significant timing differences in decryption for valid and invalid ciphertexts. This poses a serious threat as attackers could remotely exploit the vulnerability to decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages.

This vulnerability affects all users in all active release lines: 18.x, 20.x, and 21.x.
