Zack Flack discovered that Monit incorrectly handled certain input. A remote authenticated user could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2019-11454)
Zack Flack discovered a buffer overread when Monit decoded certain crafted URLs. An attacker could exploit this to leak potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11455).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
