Synopsis

An application server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the April 2020 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A temp directory creation vulnerability in the bundled Guava component that allows a low privileged attacker with logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle WebLogic Server executes to gain read access to a subset of data accessible to Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2020-8908)

 - An improper input validation flaw in the bundled JBoss Enterprise Application Platform that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP update, insert or delete access to a subset of data accessible to Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2021-28170)

 - A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the bundled JQuery component that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP, with human interaction from another user, update, insert, delete and read access to a subset of data accessible to Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2021-41184)

 - A denial of service vulnerability in the core component of Oracle WebLogic Server that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3/IIOP to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of the Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-21441)

 - A vulnerability in the console component of Oracle WebLogic Server that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP, with human interaction from another user, update, insert, delete and read access to a subset of the data accessible to Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-21453)

 - A SQL injection vulnerability in the bundled Log4J component that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to execute arbitrary code on the Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-23305)

 - An XML injection vulnerability in the bundled Apache Xerces Java component that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP, with human interaction from another user, to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-23437)

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the April 2022 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
