Red Hat Security Advisory: OpenShift Container Platform 4.19.39 bug fix and security update

Important

A flaw was found in the shell-quote component. The quote() function did not properly validate object-token inputs, allowing line terminators to pass unescaped into the output. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted input, which a POSIX shell would interpret as a command separator. This could lead to command injection, enabling the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

A flaw was found in fast-uri. This vulnerability occurs because fast-uri fails to properly convert Unicode (Internationalized Domain Name - IDN) hostnames for HTTP-family URLs. This can lead to a situation where security policies, such as denylists or redirect validations, are bypassed when applications use fast-uri to enforce these policies before passing the URL to another parser. A remote attacker could exploit this to circumvent security controls and potentially access unauthorized resources or perform malicious redirects.

CWE-551 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Authorization Before Parsing and Canonicalization
