The Qualys WAS team has released a new series of signatures (detections) to report the vulnerabilities in the following frameworks:  Apache, dotCMS, Drupal, FortiOS, GLPI, Grafana, OpenSSL, PHP, SAP NetWeaver, WordPress, and WS02. Organizations can immediately audit their networks for the following vulnerabilities.

Apache Tomcat

QID 150579 Apache Tomcat Information Disclosure Vulnerability (CVE-2021-43980)    

Apache Tomcat is an open source web server and servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation.

dotCMS is an open source content management system written in Java for managing content and content driven sites and applications.

On affected versions of dotCMS core a XSS Filter Bypass vulnerability exists due to broken authorization which allows attackers to bypass XSSPreventionWebInterceptor using Matrix Parameter and exploit XSS vulnerability.

Affected versions:
dotCMS versions: 22.05 and below

Drupal

QID 154123 Drupal Core: Twig Template Path Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2022-39261) 

Drupal is a free and open source content management framework written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Drupal uses the Twig third-party library for content templating and sanitization. Twig is vulnerable to path traversal. When using the filesystem loader to load templates for which the name is a user input, it is possible to use the source or include statement to read arbitrary files from outside the templates directory when using a namespace like @somewhere/../some.file (in such a case, validation is bypassed).

Affected Versions:
Drupal 8.0.0 to 9.3.22
Drupal 9.4.0 to 9.4.7

FortiOS

QID 150585 FortiOS Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2022-40684) 

FortiOS handles API calls by proxying all requests to an interface that is only accessible internally. This internal interface is responsible for verifying authentication and authorization.

An authentication bypass vulnerability using an alternate path or channel exists in FortiOS which may allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform operations on the administrative interface via specially crafted HTTP or HTTPS requests.

Affected Products:
FortiOS version from 7.0.0 to 7.0.6
FortiOS version from 7.2.0 to 7.2.1

GLPI

QID 150584 GLPI HtmlLawed Module Command Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2022-35914)      

GLPI or Gestionnaire Libre de Parc Informatique, is a Free Asset and IT Management Software package, that provides ITIL Service Desk features, licenses tracking and software auditing.    

On affected versions of GLPI /vendor/htmlawed/htmlawed/htmLawedTest.php in the htmlawed module allows PHP code injection.

Affected versions:
GLPI versions before 10.0.3

Grafana

QID 150576 Grafana Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2022-35957)    

Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources.

Affected versions of Grafana is vulnerable to an escalation from admin to server admin when auth proxy is used, allowing an admin to take over the server admin account and gain full control of the grafana instance.

Affected Versions:
Grafana versions before 8.5.13
Grafana versions from 9.0.0 to 9.0.9
Grafana versions from 9.1.0 to 9.1.6

OpenSSL

QID 520001 Open Secure Sockets Layer (OpenSSL) Multiple Vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-3602, CVE-2022-3786)   

OpenSSL is a software library for applications that secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping or need to identify the party at the other end.

OpenSSL has released a pre notification for the release of OpenSSL version 3.0.7. As per OpenSSL, version 3.0.7 addresses two High vulnerabilities CVE-2022-3786 and CVE-2022-3602.

Affected Versions:
OpenSSL version 3.0.0 to 3.0.6

PHP

QID 150578 PHP Multiple Vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-31629,CVE-2022-31628)     

PHP is a programming language originally designed for use in web-based applications with HTML content. PHP supports a wide variety of platforms and is used by numerous web-based software applications.

Affected versions of PHP has multiple vulnerabilities:
CVE-2022-31628 : The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the phar uncompressor code when processing “quines” gzip files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

CVE-2022-31629: The vulnerability exists due to the way PHP handles HTTP variable names. A remote attacker can set a standard insecure cookie in the victim’s browser which is treated as a ‘__Host-‘ or ‘__Secure-‘ cookie by PHP applications.

Affected Versions:
PHP versions before 7.4.31
PHP versions 8.0.0 prior to 8.0.24
PHP versions 8.1.0 prior to 8.1.11

SAP NetWeaver

QID 150561 SAP NetWeaver Request Smuggling and Request Concatenation Vulnerability (CVE-2022-22532])

SAP NetWeaver Application Server or SAP Web Application Server is a component of SAP NetWeaver which works as a web application server for SAP products.

SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java, ABAP Platform, SAP Content Server 7.53 and SAP Web Dispatcher are vulnerable for request smuggling and request concatenation. An unauthenticated attacker can prepend a victim’s request with arbitrary data. This way, the attacker can execute functions impersonating the victim or poison intermediary Web caches. A successful attack could result in complete compromise of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the system.

Affected Versions:
Product – SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java, Versions – KRNL64NUC 7.22, 7.22EXT, 7.49, KRNL64UC, 7.22, 7.22EXT, 7.49, 7.53, KERNEL 7.22, 7.49, 7.53
