Security Bulletin: IBM Storage Fusion and IBM Storage Fusion HCI may vulnerable to denial of service, spoofing attacks via dependent JavaScript libraries (CVE-2021-23440, CVE-2018-25031, CVE-2022-46175, CVE-2022-37599, CVE-2022-37603)

Summary

IBM Storage Fusion and IBM Storage Fusion HCI, previously known as Spectrum Fusion and Spectrum Fusion HCI, may be affected by vulnerabilities in set-value (Node.js), swagger-ui, JSON5, webpack/loader-utils. Vulnerabilities include access of resources using improper type leading to denial of service, improper input validation leading to spoofing attacks, “prototype pollution”, and a regular expression denial of service as described by the CVEs in the “Vulnerability Details” section.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2021-23440
**DESCRIPTION:**Nodejs set-value module could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution flaw. By adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a proto or constructor payload, 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/209431 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-2018-25031
**DESCRIPTION:**swagger-ui could allow a remote attacker to conduct spoofing attacks. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted URL, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to display remote OpenAPI definitions.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/217346 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-46175
**DESCRIPTION:**JSON5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution flaw in the parse method. By adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a proto or constructor payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242965 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-37599
**DESCRIPTION:**loader-utils is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the interpolateName.js script. By sending specially-crafted regex input, 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/238443 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-2022-37603
**DESCRIPTION:**webpack loader-utils is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the interpolateName function in interpolateName.js. By sending a specially-crafted regex input using the url variable, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/238766 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)

**IBM X-Force ID:**221508
**DESCRIPTION:**Swagger UI could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, caused by an open redirect vulnerability in the OpenAPI definitions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the ?url parameter in a specially-crafted URL to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites.
CVSS Base score: 7.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/221508 for the current score.
