Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.14.18 Bug Fix Update

Important

A flaw was found in npm-serialize-javascript. The vulnerability occurs because the serialize-javascript module does not properly sanitize certain inputs, such as regex or other JavaScript object types, allowing an attacker to inject malicious code. This code could be executed when deserialized by a web browser, causing Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This issue is critical in environments where serialized data is sent to web clients, potentially compromising the security of the website or web application using this package.

CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

A flaw was found in the http-proxy-middleware package. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) due to an UnhandledPromiseRejection error thrown by micromatch. This flaw allows an attacker to kill the Node.js process and crash the server by requesting certain paths.

CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was found in the cross-spawn package for Node.js. Due to improper input sanitization, an attacker can increase CPU usage and crash the program with a large, specially crafted string.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

A flaw was found in the Express.js minimalist web framework for node. Upstream versions of Express.js before 4.19.0 and all pre-release alpha and beta versions of 5.0 are affected by an open redirect vulnerability using malformed URLs. When a user of Express performs a redirect using a user-provided URL, Express performs an encode [using `encodeurl`](https://github.com/pillarjs/encodeurl) on the contents before passing it to the `location` header. This issue can cause malformed URLs to be evaluated in unexpected ways by common redirect allow list implementations in Express applications, leading to an Open Redirect via bypass of a properly implemented allow list. The main method impacted is `res.location()`, but this is also called from within `res.redirect()`. The vulnerability is fixed in upstream version 4.19.2 and 5.0.0-beta.3.

CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

A flaw was found in the webpack-dev-middleware package, where it failed to validate the supplied URL address sufficiently before returning local files. This flaw allows an attacker to craft URLs to return arbitrary local files from the developer's machine. The lack of normalization before calling the middleware also allows the attacker to perform path traversal attacks on the target environment.

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

A flaw was found in the Node.js WebSocket library (ws). A request with several headers exceeding the 'server.maxHeadersCount' threshold could be used to crash a ws server, leading to a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in the async Node.js package. A Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack can potentially be triggered via the autoinject function while parsing specially crafted input.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/net/html. This flaw allows an attacker to craft input to the parse functions that would be processed non-linearly with respect to its length, resulting in extremely slow parsing. This issue can cause a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in body-parser. This vulnerability causes denial of service via a specially crafted payload when the URL encoding is enabled.

CWE-405 - Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)

A prototype pollution vulnerability was found in DOMPurify. This flaw allows a remote attacker to add or modify attributes of an object prototype. This issue can lead to the injection of malicious attributes used in other components or cause a crash by overriding existing attributes with ones of incompatible type.

CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')
