Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.19.20 security, enhancement & bug fix update

Important

A flaw was found in node-forge. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions via crafting ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence.

CWE-179 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Early Validation

A flaw was found in Lodash. A prototype pollution vulnerability in the _.unset and _.omit functions allows an attacker able to control property paths to delete methods from global prototypes. By removing essential functionalities, this can result in a denial of service.

CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')

A flaw was found in qs, a module used for parsing query strings. A remote attacker can exploit an improper input validation vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that use bracket notation (e.g., `a[]=value`). This bypasses the `arrayLimit` option, which is designed to limit the size of parsed arrays and prevent resource exhaustion. Successful exploitation can lead to memory exhaustion, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) where the application crashes or becomes unresponsive, making the service unavailable to users.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

An ASN.1 Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability exists in the node-forge asn1.fromDer function within forge/lib/asn1.js. The ASN.1 DER parser implementation (_fromDer) recurses for every constructed ASN.1 value (SEQUENCE, SET, etc.) and lacks a guard limiting recursion depth. An attacker can craft a small DER blob containing a very large nesting depth of constructed TLVs which causes the Node.js V8 engine to exhaust its call stack and throw RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, crashing or incapacitating the process handling the parse. This is a remote, low-cost Denial-of-Service against applications that parse untrusted ASN.1 objects.

CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

An SSRF flaw has been discovered in Webpack. When experiments.buildHttp is enabled, webpack’s HTTP(S) resolver (HttpUriPlugin) enforces allowedUris only for the initial URL, but does not re-validate allowedUris after following HTTP 30x redirects. As a result, an import that appears restricted to a trusted allow-list can be redirected to HTTP(S) URLs outside the allow-list. This is a policy/allow-list bypass that enables build-time SSRF behavior (requests from the build machine to internal-only endpoints, depending on network access) and untrusted content inclusion in build outputs (redirected content is treated as module source and bundled).

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

An SSRF flaw has been discovered in Webpack. When experiments.buildHttp is enabled, webpack’s HTTP(S) resolver (HttpUriPlugin) can be bypassed to fetch resources from hosts outside allowedUris by using crafted URLs that include userinfo (username:password@host). If allowedUris enforcement relies on a raw string prefix check (e.g., uri.startsWith(allowed)), a URL that looks allow-listed can pass validation while the actual network request is sent to a different authority/host after URL parsing. This is a policy/allow-list bypass that enables build-time SSRF behavior (outbound requests from the build machine to internal-only endpoints, depending on network access) and untrusted content inclusion (the fetched response is treated as module source and bundled).

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

A flaw was found in ajv. When the $data option is enabled, the value of the pattern keyword is passed directly to the JavaScript RegExp() constructor without sufficient validation. An attacker able to supply a malicious regular expression pattern can trigger a ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service), causing the application to become unresponsive and resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-1333 - Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity

A flaw was found in lodash. The fix for CVE-2021-23337 added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink. Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function().

CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
