XSS
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Affected packages The vulnerability has been discovered in the core HTML processing module and may affect all plugins used by CKEditor 4.

Impact A potential vulnerability has been discovered in CKEditor 4 HTML processing core module. The vulnerability allowed to inject malformed comments HTML bypassing content sanitization, which could result in executing JavaScript code. It affects all users using the CKEditor 4 at version < 4.17.0.

Patches The problem has been recognized and patched. The fix will be available in version 4.17.0.

For more information Email us at security@cksource.com if you have any questions or comments about this advisory.

Acknowledgements The CKEditor 4 team would like to thank William Bowling (wbowling) for recognizing and reporting this vulnerability.

Impact The Snappy frame decoder function doesn't restrict the chunk length which may lead to excessive memory usage. Beside this it also may buffer reserved skippable chunks until the whole chunk was received which may lead to excessive memory usage as well.

This vulnerability can be triggered by supplying malicious input that decompresses to a very big size (via a network stream or a file) or by sending a huge skippable chunk.

Impact

All users of SnappyFrameDecoder are affected and so the application may be in risk for a DoS attach due excessive memory usage.

Impact The Bzip2 decompression decoder function doesn't allow setting size restrictions on the decompressed output data (which affects the allocation size used during decompression).

All users of Bzip2Decoder are affected. The malicious input can trigger an OOME and so a DoS attack

Workarounds No workarounds other than not using the Bzip2Decoder

Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker has sufficient rights to execute commands of the host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.

Patches If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.17.

Workarounds See workarounds for the different versions covering all CVEs.

References See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for CVE-2021-29505.

Remedy

Depending on the version of XStream used there are various usage patterns that mitigate this flaw, though we would strongly recommend using the allow list approach if at all possible as there are likely more class combinations the deny list approach may not address. Allow list approach ```java XStream xstream = new XStream(); XStream.setupDefaultSecurity(xstream); xstream.allowTypesByWildcard(new String[] {"com.misc.classname"}) ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.16 (this should also address some previous flaws found in 1.4.7 - > 1.4.15) ```java xstream.denyTypesByRegExp(new String[]{ ".*\\.Lazy(?:Search)?Enumeration.*", "(?:java|sun)\\.rmi\\..*" }); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.15 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "sun.awt.datatransfer.DataTransferer$IndexOrderComparator", "sun.swing.SwingLazyValue", "com.sun.corba.se.impl.activation.ServerTableEntry", "com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$NameProcessIterator" }); xstream.denyTypesByRegExp(new String[]{ ".*\\$ServiceNameIterator", "javafx\\.collections\\.ObservableList\\$.*", ".*\\.bcel\\..*\\.util\\.ClassLoader" }); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(java.io.InputStream.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(java.nio.channels.Channel.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(javax.activation.DataSource.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(javax.sql.rowset.BaseRowSet.class ); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.13 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class }); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.7 -> 1.4.12 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.beans.EventHandler.class, java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.lang.Void.class, void.class }); ``` Deny list for versions prior to XStream 1.4.7 ```java xstream.registerConverter(new Converter() { public boolean canConvert(Class type) { return type != null && (type == java.beans.EventHandler.class || type == java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class || type == java.lang.Void.class || void.class || type.getName().equals("javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter") || Proxy.isProxy(type)); } public Object unmarshal(HierarchicalStreamReader reader, UnmarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, MarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } }, XStream.PRIORITY_LOW); ```
