Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.17.57 bug fix and security update

Important

A flaw was found in lodash. The fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink. Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function().

CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

A flaw was found in the shell-quote component. The quote() function did not properly validate object-token inputs, allowing line terminators to pass unescaped into the output. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input, which a POSIX shell would interpret as a command separator. This could lead to command injection, enabling the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
