Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2021
A persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in Local Services Search Engine Management System Project 1.0 which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted payloads entered into the Name and Address fields.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in the Comments parameter in Textpattern CMS 4.8.4 which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload entered into the URL field. The vulnerability is triggered by users visiting https://site.com/articles/welcome-to-your-site#comments-head.
A persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability was discovered in the Excerpt parameter in Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted payload entered into the URL field. The vulnerability is triggered by users visiting the 'Articles' page.
A persistent cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Add Categories module of Vehicle Parking Management System 1.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload in the Category field.
An issue was discovered in HCC Embedded InterNiche NicheStack through 4.3. The tfshnd():tftpsrv.c TFTP packet processing function doesn't ensure that a filename is adequately '\0' terminated; therefore, a subsequent call to strlen for the filename might read out of bounds of the protocol packet buffer (if no '\0' byte exists within a reasonable range).
In XeroSecurity Sn1per 9.0 (free version), insecure permissions (0777) are set upon application execution, allowing an unprivileged user to modify the application, modules, and configuration files. This leads to arbitrary code execution with root privileges.
In XeroSecurity Sn1per 9.0 (free version), insecure directory permissions (0777) are set during installation, allowing an unprivileged user to modify the main application and the application configuration file. This results in arbitrary code execution with root privileges.
An issue was discovered in HCC Nichestack 3.0. The code that parses TCP packets relies on an unchecked value of the IP payload size (extracted from the IP header) to compute the length of the TCP payload within the TCP checksum computation function. When the IP payload size is set to be smaller than the size of the IP header, the TCP checksum computation function may read out of bounds (a low-impact write-out-of-bounds is also possible).
An issue was discovered in HCC Nichestack 3.0. The code that generates Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs) for TCP connections derives the ISN from an insufficiently random source. As a result, an attacker may be able to determine the ISN of current and future TCP connections and either hijack existing ones or spoof future ones. (Proper ISN generation should aim to follow at least the specifications outlined in RFC 6528.)
The web server in InterNiche NicheStack through 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and networking outage) via an unexpected valid HTTP request such as OPTIONS. This occurs because the HTTP request handler enters a miscoded wbs_loop() debugger hook.
