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.

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

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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

  - 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)

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 versions of Primavera Gateway installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2023 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Gateway product of Oracle Construction and Engineering     (component: Admin (JSON-java)). Supported versions that are affected are 19.12.0-19.12.17,     20.12.0-20.12.12 and 21.12.0-21.12.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker     with network access via HTTP to compromise Primavera Gateway. Successful attacks of this vulnerability     can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of     Primavera Gateway. (CVE-2022-45688)

  - Vulnerability in the Primavera Gateway product of Oracle Construction and Engineering     (component: Admin (Google Guava)). Supported versions that are affected are 19.12.0-19.12.17,     20.12.0-20.12.12 and 21.12.0-21.12.10. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker     with logon to the infrastructure where Primavera Gateway executes to compromise Primavera Gateway.
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification     access to critical data or all Primavera Gateway accessible data as well as unauthorized access to     critical data or complete access to all Primavera Gateway accessible data. (CVE-2023-2976)

  - Security-in-Depth issue in the Primavera Gateway product of Oracle Construction and Engineering     (component: Admin (Scala)). This vulnerability cannot be exploited in the context of this product.
