Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2020-35491
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization between gadgets and typing, related to org.apache.commons.dbcp2.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource. By sending specially-crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193394 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2018-7489
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a deserialization flaw in the readValue method of the ObjectMapper. By sending specially crafted JSON input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/139549 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-35490
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization between gadgets and typing, related to org.apache.commons.dbcp2.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSource. By sending a specially-crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/193391 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-36518
**DESCRIPTION:**FasterXML jackson-databind is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a Java StackOverflow exception. By using a large depth of nested objects, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222319 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-11971
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Camel could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a rebind flaw in JMX. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/181961 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2020-13955
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Calcite is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by disabled hostname verification for HTTPS connections in the HttpUtils#getURLConnection method. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to the communication channel between endpoints to obtain sensitive information or further compromise the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/189598 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-39135
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Calcite is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data, caused by improper input validation by the SQL operators EXISTS_NODE, EXTRACT_XML, XML_TRANSFORM and EXTRACT_VALUE. By using specially-crafted XML content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files, cause a denial of service, conduct an SSRF attack, or achieve other system impacts.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/235774 for the current score.
