Goahead Security Vulnerabilities

CVE-2014-9707

EmbedThis GoAhead 3.0.0 through 3.4.1 does not properly handle path segments starting with a . (dot), which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks, cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and crash), or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted URI.

CVE-2017-1000471

EmbedThis GoAhead Webserver version 4.0.0 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in the CGI handler resulting in memory corruption or denial of service.

CVE-2017-14149

GoAhead 3.4.0 through 3.6.5 has a NULL Pointer Dereference in the websDecodeUrl function in http.c, leading to a crash for a "POST / HTTP/1.1" request.

CVE-2017-17562

Embedthis GoAhead before 3.6.5 allows remote code execution if CGI is enabled and a CGI program is dynamically linked. This is a result of initializing the environment of forked CGI scripts using untrusted HTTP request parameters in the cgiHandler function in cgi.c. When combined with the glibc dyn...

CVE-2017-5674

A vulnerability in a custom-built GoAhead web server used on Foscam, Vstarcam, and multiple white-label IP camera models allows an attacker to craft a malformed HTTP ("GET system.ini HTTP/1.1\n\n" - note the lack of "/" in the path field of the request) request that will disclose the configuration ...

CVE-2017-5675

A command-injection vulnerability exists in a web application on a custom-built GoAhead web server used on Foscam, Vstarcam, and multiple white-label IP camera models. The mail-sending form in the mail.htm page allows an attacker to inject a command into the receiver1 field in the form; it will be ...

CVE-2018-15504

An issue was discovered in Embedthis GoAhead before 4.0.1 and Appweb before 7.0.2. The server mishandles some HTTP request fields associated with time, which results in a NULL pointer dereference, as demonstrated by If-Modified-Since or If-Unmodified-Since with a month greater than 11.

CVE-2018-15505

An issue was discovered in Embedthis GoAhead before 4.0.1 and Appweb before 7.0.2. An HTTP POST request with a specially crafted "Host" header field may cause a NULL pointer dereference and thus cause a denial of service, as demonstrated by the lack of a trailing ']' character in an IPv6 address.

CVE-2019-12822

In http.c in Embedthis GoAhead before 4.1.1 and 5.x before 5.0.1, a header parsing vulnerability causes a memory assertion, out-of-bounds memory reference, and potential DoS, as demonstrated by a colon on a line by itself.

CVE-2019-16645

An issue was discovered in Embedthis GoAhead 2.5.0. Certain pages (such as goform/login and config/log_off_page.htm) create links containing a hostname obtained from an arbitrary HTTP Host header sent by an attacker. This could potentially be used in a phishing attack.

CVE-2019-19240

Embedthis GoAhead before 5.0.1 mishandles redirected HTTP requests with a large Host header. The GoAhead WebsRedirect uses a static host buffer that has a limited length and can overflow. This can cause a copy of the Host header to fail, leaving that buffer uninitialized, which may leak uninitializ...

CVE-2019-5096

An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the processing of multi-part/form-data requests within the base GoAhead web server application in versions v5.0.1, v.4.1.1 and v3.6.5. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to a use-after-free condition during the processing of this request ...

CVE-2019-5097

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the processing of multi-part/form-data requests in the base GoAhead web server application in versions v5.0.1, v.4.1.1 and v3.6.5. A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to an infinite loop in the process. The request can be unauthenticated in the form...

CVE-2020-15688

The HTTP Digest Authentication in the GoAhead web server before 5.1.2 does not completely protect against replay attacks. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication via capture-replay if TLS is not used to protect the underlying communication channel.

CVE-2021-41615

websda.c in GoAhead WebServer 2.1.8 has insufficient nonce entropy because the nonce calculation relies on the hardcoded onceuponatimeinparadise value, which does not follow the secret-data guideline for HTTP Digest Access Authentication in RFC 7616 section 3.3 (or RFC 2617 section 3.2.1). NOTE: 2....

CVE-2021-42342

An issue was discovered in GoAhead 4.x and 5.x before 5.1.5. In the file upload filter, user form variables can be passed to CGI scripts without being prefixed with the CGI prefix. This permits tunneling untrusted environment variables into vulnerable CGI scripts.

CVE-2021-43298

The code that performs password matching when using 'Basic' HTTP authentication does not use a constant-time memcmp and has no rate-limiting. This means that an unauthenticated network attacker can brute-force the HTTP basic password, byte-by-byte, by recording the webserver's response time until t...
