Apache Groovy provides extension methods to aid with creating temporary directories. Prior to this fix, Groovy's implementation of those extension methods was using a now superseded Java JDK method call that is potentially not secure on some operating systems in some contexts. Users not using the extension methods mentioned in the advisory are not affected, but may wish to read the advisory for further details. Versions Affected: 2.0 to 2.4.20, 2.5.0 to 2.5.13, 3.0.0 to 3.0.6, and 4.0.0-alpha-1. Fixed in versions 2.4.21, 2.5.14, 3.0.7, 4.0.0-alpha-2.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the October 2022 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Centralized Thirdparty     Jars (Bouncy Castle Java Library)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0.
    Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Oracle     WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebLogic Server.
    (CVE-2020-28052)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Centralized Thirdparty     Jars (Apache Xerces-J)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic     Server. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of     this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS)     of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-23437)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Centralized Thirdparty     Jars (Apache Groovy)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle WebLogic Server executes     to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to     critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. (CVE-2020-17521) )

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Oracle Business Process Management Suite installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as referenced in the April 2022 CPU advisory. Specifically:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Process Management Suite product of Oracle Fusion Middleware     (component: BPM Studio (Apache Groovy)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0 and     12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with logon to the     infrastructure where Oracle Business Process Management Suite executes to compromise Oracle Business     Process Management Suite. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to     critical data or complete access to all Oracle Business Process Management Suite accessible data.
    (CVE-2020-17521)
