Security Bulletin: IBM Planning Analytics Workspace is affected by vulnerabilities in Node.js and Spring Data MongoDB

Summary

IBM Planning Analytics Workspace is affected by vulnerabilties in Node.js and Spring Data MongoDB (CVE-2022-32212, CVE-2022-32213, CVE-2022-32223, CVE-2022-32214, CVE-2022-32222, CVE-2022-32215, CVE-2022-22980)

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-32212
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the failure to properly check if an IP address is invalid or not by IsIPAddress. By controlling the victim’s DNS server or spoofing its responses, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230660 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-2022-32213
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to correctly parse and validate Transfer-Encoding headers by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230657 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-32223
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the DLL search order hijacking of providers.dll. By placing a specially crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges.
CVSS Base score: 8.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230661 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-32214
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230658 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-32222
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. By attempting to read openssl.cnf from /home/iojs/build/ upon startup, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create this file and affect the default OpenSSL configuration for other users.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230662 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-32215
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers by the llhttp parser in the http module. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230659 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-22980
**DESCRIPTION:**VMware Tanzu Spring Data MongoDB could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a SpEL Expression injection flaw when using @Query or @Aggregation-annotated query methods with SpEL expressions. By sending a specially-crafted request using query parameter placeholders for value binding, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/229592 for the current score.
