Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-0536
**DESCRIPTION:**Node.js follow-redirects module could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a leakage of the Authorization header from the same hostname during HTTPS to HTTP redirection. By utilize man-in-the-middle attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain Authorization header information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 2.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/219551 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-0613
**DESCRIPTION:**Medialize URI.js module for NPM could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially-crafted request using case-insensitive protocol schemes, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass host validation or conduct open redirect and SSRF attacks.
CVSS Base score: 7.5

CVEID:CVE-2022-41854
**DESCRIPTION:**snakeYAML is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted YAML content, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/240890 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-42919
**DESCRIPTION:**Python on Linux could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by the deserialization of pickles from any user in the same machine local network namespace. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain privileges that any Python multiprocessing forkserver process is running as.
