A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted "protected" comment (with the cke_protected syntax).

The version of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (formerly IBM Rational DOORS) installed on the remote host is 9.7.2.9 prior to 9.7.2.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7238992 advisory.

  - CKEditor4 is an open source WYSIWYG HTML editor. In affected version a vulnerability has been discovered in the     core HTML processing module and may affect all plugins used by CKEditor 4. The vulnerability allowed to inject     malformed comments HTML bypassing content sanitization, which could result in executing JavaScript code. It     affects all users using the CKEditor 4 at version < 4.17.0. The problem has been recognized and patched. The     fix will be available in version 4.17.0. (CVE-2021-41165)

  - CKEditor4 is an open source WYSIWYG HTML editor. In affected versions a vulnerability has been discovered in the     Advanced Content Filter (ACF) module and may affect all plugins used by CKEditor 4. The vulnerability allowed to     inject malformed HTML bypassing content sanitization, which could result in executing JavaScript code. It affects     all users using the CKEditor 4 at version < 4.17.0. The problem has been recognized and patched. The fix will be     available in version 4.17.0. (CVE-2021-41164)

  - It was possible to execute a ReDoS-type attack inside CKEditor 4 before 4.16 by persuading a victim to paste crafted     text into the Styles input of specific dialogs (in the Advanced Tab for Dialogs plugin). (CVE-2021-26271)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14 allows
    remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted "protected" comment (with the
    cke_protected syntax). (CVE-2020-9281)

The versions of Oracle Siebel CRM installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel UI Framework product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: SWSE Server (Apache     Axis)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.0 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with access to the physical communication segment attached to the hardware where     the Siebel UI Framework executes to compromise Siebel UI Framework. Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in takeover of Siebel UI Framework. (CVE-2019-0227)

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel Apps - Customer Order Management product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component:
    Customizable Prod/Configurator (CKEditor)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.0 and prior.
    Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to     compromise Siebel Apps - Customer Order Management. Successful attacks require human interaction from a     person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Siebel Apps - Customer Order Management,     attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result     in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Siebel Apps - Customer Order Management     accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Siebel Apps - Customer Order Management     accessible data. (CVE-2020-9281)

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 IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (formerly IBM Rational DOORS) installed on the remote host is 9.7.2.x prior to 9.7.2.8. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7124058 advisory.

  - Apache Shiro before 1.9.1, A RegexRequestMatcher can be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet     containers. Applications using RegExPatternMatcher with `.` in the regular expression are possibly     vulnerable to an authorization bypass. (CVE-2022-32532)

  - The Java OpenWire protocol marshaller is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. This vulnerability may allow     a remote attacker with network access to either a Java-based OpenWire broker or client to run arbitrary     shell commands by manipulating serialized class types in the OpenWire protocol to cause either the client     or the broker (respectively) to instantiate any class on the classpath. Users are recommended to upgrade     both brokers and clients to version 5.15.16, 5.16.7, 5.17.6, or 5.18.3 which fixes this issue.
    (CVE-2023-46604)

  - Scala 2.13.x before 2.13.9 has a Java deserialization chain in its JAR file. On its own, it cannot be     exploited. There is only a risk in conjunction with Java object deserialization within an application. In     such situations, it allows attackers to erase contents of arbitrary files, make network connections, or     possibly run arbitrary code (specifically, Function0 functions) via a gadget chain. (CVE-2022-36944)

  - IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS 9.7.2.7 is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery which     could allow an attacker to execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the     website trusts. IBM X-Force ID: 251216. (CVE-2023-28949)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14 allows     remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted protected comment (with the     cke_protected syntax). (CVE-2020-9281)

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 WebCenter Portal installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the October 2020 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - dom4j before 2.0.3 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default, which might     enable XXE attacks. However, there is popular external documentation from OWASP showing how to enable the     safe, non-default behavior in any application that uses dom4j. (CVE-2020-10683)

  - A vulnerability in the Oracle Coherence product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Caching, CacheStore,     Invocation). Supported versions that are affected are 3.7.1.0, 12.1.3.0.0, 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3 to compromise Oracle     Coherence. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle Coherence. (CVE-2020-2555)

  - xstream API version 1.4.10 before 1.4.11 introduced a regression for a previous deserialization flaw. If the     security framework has not been initialized, it may allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary shell commands     when unmarshalling XML or any supported format. e.g. JSON. (CVE-2019-10173)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML Data Processor for CKEditor 4.0 before 4.14 allows     remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script through a crafted protected comment (with the cke_protected     syntax). (CVE-2020-9281)

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