Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In December 2019
In Sudo through 1.8.29, the fact that a user has been blocked (e.g., by using the ! character in the shadow file instead of a password hash) is not considered, allowing an attacker (who has access to a Runas ALL sudoer account) to impersonate any blocked user. NOTE: The software maintainer believes that this CVE is not valid. Disabling local password authentication for a user is not the same as disabling all access to that user--the user may still be able to login via other means (ssh key, kerberos, etc). Both the Linux shadow(5) and passwd(1) manuals are clear on this. Indeed it is a valid use case to have local accounts that are _only_ accessible via sudo and that cannot be logged into with a password. Sudo 1.8.30 added an optional setting to check the _shell_ of the target user (not the encrypted password!) against the contents of /etc/shells but that is not the same thing as preventing access to users with an invalid password hash
A flaw was found in Ansible Tower, versions 3.6.x before 3.6.2 and 3.5.x before 3.5.3, where enabling RabbitMQ manager by setting it with '-e rabbitmq_enable_manager=true' exposes the RabbitMQ management interface publicly, as expected. If the default admin user is still active, an attacker could guess the password and gain access to the system.
Cloud Foundry Cloud Controller API (CAPI), version 1.88.0, allows space developers to list all global service brokers, including service broker URLs and GUIDs, which should only be accessible to admins.
Adobe Photoshop CC versions before 20.0.8 and 21.0.x before 21.0.2 have a memory corruption vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Adobe Photoshop CC versions before 20.0.8 and 21.0.x before 21.0.2 have a memory corruption vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Brackets versions 1.14 and earlier have a command injection vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
ColdFusion versions Update 6 and earlier have an insecure inherited permissions of default installation directory vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.
In CloudVision Portal all releases in the 2018.1 and 2018.2 Code train allows users with read-only permissions to bypass permissions for restricted functionality via CVP API calls through the Configlet Builder modules. This vulnerability can potentially enable authenticated users with read-only access to take actions that are otherwise restricted in the GUI.
An issue was discovered in Public Knowledge Project (PKP) pkp-lib before 3.1.2-2, as used in Open Journal Systems (OJS) before 3.1.2-2. Code injection can occur in the OJS report generator if an authenticated Journal Manager user visits a crafted URL, because unserialize is used.
The MinervaNeue Skin in MediaWiki from 2019-11-05 to 2019-12-13 (1.35 and/or 1.34) mishandles certain HTML attributes, as demonstrated by IMG onmouseover= (impact is XSS) and IMG src=http (impact is disclosing the client's IP address). This can occur within a talk page topical header that is viewed within a mobile (MobileFrontend) context.
