This flaw allows a remote attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to weak randomness in the WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/cryptokeygen.cc. Node.js made calls to EntropySource() in SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen(). However, it does not check the return value and assumes the EntropySource() always succeeds, but it can and sometimes will fail. This flaw allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.

A flaw was found in follow-redirects when fetching a remote URL with a cookie when it gets to the Location response header. This flaw allows an attacker to hijack the account as the cookie is leaked.

A flaw was found in the follow-redirects package. This flaw allows the exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor due to the usage of insecure HTTP protocol. This issue happens with an Authorization header leak from the same hostname, https-http, and requires a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack.

A cryptographic vulnerability exists on Node.js on linux in versions of 18.x prior to 18.40.0 which allowed a default path for openssl.cnf that might be accessible under some circumstances to a non-admin user instead of /etc/ssl as was the case in versions prior to the upgrade to OpenSSL 3.

Apache Ant is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-memory error when large amounts of memory are allocated. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TAR archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.

An HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) vulnerability was found in the llhttp library, used by Node.JS. Spaces as part of the header names were accepted as valid. In situations where HTTP conversations are being proxied (such as proxy, reverse-proxy, load-balancer), an attacker can use this flaw to inject arbitrary messages through the proxy. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

A flaw was found in Node.js. If the Node.js HTTPS API is used incorrectly and "undefined" is passed for the "rejectUnauthorized" parameter, no error is returned, and the connections to servers with an expired certificate are accepted. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity.

A flaw was found in Node.js. These vulnerabilities include remote code execution, Cross-site scripting (XSS), application crashes due to missing input validation of hostnames returned by Domain Name Servers in the Node.js DNS library, which can lead to the output of wrong hostnames (leading to Domain hijacking) and injection vulnerabilities in applications using the library.

Apache Ant could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an insecure temporary file flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject modified source files into the build process.

An HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS) vulnerability was found in the llhttp library, used by Node.JS. During the parsing of chunked messages, the chunk size parameter was not validated properly. In situations where HTTP conversations are being proxied (such as proxy, reverse-proxy, load-balancer), an attacker can use this flaw to inject arbitrary messages through the proxy. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

jrburke requirejs could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution in the function s.contexts..configure. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

A cryptographic vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.2.0, <18.14.1, <16.19.1, <14.21.3 that in some cases did does not clear the OpenSSL error stack after operations that may set it. This may lead to false positive errors during subsequent cryptographic operations that happen to be on the same thread. This in turn could be used to cause a denial of service.

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Node.js <19.6.1, <18.14.1, <16.19.1 and <14.21.3 that made it possible to bypass the experimental Permissions (https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html) feature in Node.js and access non authorized modules by using process.mainModule.require(). This only affects users who had enabled the experimental permissions option with --experimental-policy.

IBM Controller 11.1.0 through 11.1.1 and IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP6 could allow an authenticated user to cause a denial of service due to improper validation of a specified quantity size input.

IBM Controller 11.1.0 through 11.1.1 and IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP6 is vulnerable to creation of temporary files without atomic operations which may expose sensitive information to an authenticated user due to race condition attacks.

IBM Controller 11.1.0 through 11.1.1 and IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP6 could allow a privileged user to bypass validation, passing user input into the application as trusted data, due to client-side enforcement of server-side security.

IBM Controller 11.1.0 through 11.1.1 and IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP6 stores unencrypted sensitive information in environmental variables files which can be obtained by an authenticated user.

Impact

The regular expression that is vulnerable to backtracking can be generated in versions before 0.1.12 of path-to-regexp, originally reported in CVE-2024-45296

Patches

Upgrade to 0.1.12.

Workarounds

Avoid using two parameters within a single path segment, when the separator is not . (e.g. no /:a-:b). Alternatively, you can define the regex used for both parameters and ensure they do not overlap to allow backtracking.

Impact

A potential denial-of-service issue exists in ion-java for applications that use ion-java to:

Deserialize Ion text encoded data, or Deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the IonValue model and then invoke certain IonValue methods on that in-memory representation.

An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by the affected application and/or processed using the IonValue model, results in a StackOverflowError originating from the ion-java library.

Impacted versions: <1.10.5

Patches

The patch is included in ion-java >= 1.10.5.

Workarounds

Do not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with. Only load data you trust.
