Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- WireMock is a tool for mocking HTTP services. The proxy mode of WireMock, can be protected by the network
restrictions configuration, as documented in Preventing proxying to and recording from specific target
addresses. These restrictions can be configured using the domain names, and in such a case the
configuration is vulnerable to the DNS rebinding attacks. A similar patch was applied in WireMock
3.0.0-beta-15 for the WireMock Webhook Extensions. The root cause of the attack is a defect in the logic
which allows for a race condition triggered by a DNS server whose address expires in between the initial
validation and the outbound network request that might go to a domain that was supposed to be prohibited.
Control over a DNS service is required to exploit this attack, so it has high execution complexity and
limited impact. This issue has been addressed in version 2.35.1 of wiremock-jre8 and wiremock-
jre8-standalone, version 3.0.3 of wiremock and wiremock-standalone, version 2.6.1 of the python version of
wiremock, and versions 2.35.1-1 and 3.0.3-1 of the wiremock/wiremock Docker container. Users are advised
to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should either configure firewall rules to define the list of permitted
destinations or to configure WireMock to use IP addresses instead of the domain names. (CVE-2023-41329)
