3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1    AUTHENTICATION BYPASS USING AN ALTERNATE PATH OR CHANNEL CWE-288

An attacker may bypass client-side access controls or use a crafted request to initiate a session with limited functionality, which may allow execution of admin functions such as SQL queries.

CVE-2020-14485 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).

3.2.2    IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF EXCESSIVE AUTHENTICATION ATTEMPTS CWE-307

An attacker can bypass the system’s account lockout protection, which may allow brute force password attacks.

CVE-2020-14484 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

3.2.3    IMPROPER AUTHENTICATION CWE-287

An authentication mechanism within the system does not contain sufficient complexity to protect against brute force attacks, which may allow unauthorized users to access the system after no more than a fixed maximum number of attempts.

CVE-2020-14494 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

3.2.4    MISSING AUTHORIZATION CWE-862

The system does not properly check permissions before executing SQL queries, which may allow a low-privilege user to access privileged information.

CVE-2020-14491 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).

3.2.5    EXECUTION WITH UNNECESSARY PRIVILEGES CWE-250

A low-privilege user may use SQL syntax to write arbitrary files to the server, which may allow the execution of arbitrary commands.
CVE-2020-14493 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.6    UNRESTRICTED UPLOAD OF FILE WITH DANGEROUS TYPE CWE-434

The system does not properly verify uploaded files, which may allow a low-privilege user to upload and execute arbitrary files on the system.

CVE-2020-14488 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.7    IMPROPER LIMITATION OF A PATHNAME TO A RESTRICTED DIRECTORY (‘PATH TRAVERSAL’) CWE-22

The system includes arbitrary local files specified within its parameter and executes some files, which may allow disclosure of sensitive files or the execution of malicious uploaded files.

CVE-2020-14490 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.8    IMPROPER AUTHORIZATION CWE-285

An attacker may bypass permission/authorization checks by ignoring the redirect of a permission failure, which may allow unauthorized execution of commands.

CVE-2020-14486 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 6.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

3.2.9    IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF INPUT DURING WEB PAGE GENERATION (‘CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING’) CWE-79

The system does not properly neutralize user-controllable input, which may allow the execution of malicious code within the user’s browser.

CVE-2020-14492 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 5.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).

3.2.10    USE OF UNMAINTAINED THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS CWE-1104

The system contains third-party software versions that are end-of-life and contain known vulnerabilities, which may allow remote code execution.

CVE-2020-14495 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.11    INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED CREDENTIALS CWE-522

The system stores passwords using inadequate hashing complexity, which may allow an attacker to recover passwords using known password cracking techniques.

CVE-2020-14489 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 6.2 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

3.2.12    HIDDEN FUNCTIONALITY CWE-912

The system contains a hidden default user account that may be accessed if an administrator has not expressly turned off this account, which may allow an attacker to login and execute arbitrary commands.
Does not affect Version 5.89.05b.

CVE-2020-14487 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 9.4 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L).
