The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has pki-core packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A Reflected Cross Site Scripting flaw was found in all pki-core 10.x.x versions module from the pki-core     server due to the CA Agent Service not properly sanitizing the certificate request page. An attacker could     inject a specially crafted value that will be executed on the victim's browser. (CVE-2019-10146)

  - A vulnerability was found in all pki-core 10.x.x versions, where the Key Recovery Authority (KRA) Agent     Service did not properly sanitize recovery request search page, enabling a Reflected Cross Site Scripting     (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could trick an authenticated victim into executing specially crafted     Javascript code. (CVE-2019-10179)

  - A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in all pki-core 10.x.x versions, where the pki-ca     module from the pki-core server. This flaw is caused by missing sanitization of the GET URL parameters. An     attacker could abuse this flaw to trick an authenticated user into clicking a specially crafted link which     can execute arbitrary code when viewed in a browser. (CVE-2019-10221)

  - A flaw was found in the Key Recovery Authority (KRA) Agent Service in pki-core 10.10.5 where it did not     properly sanitize the recovery ID during a key recovery request, enabling a reflected cross-site scripting     (XSS) vulnerability. An attacker could trick an authenticated victim into executing specially crafted     Javascript code. (CVE-2020-1721)

  - A flaw was found in pki-core 10.9.0. A specially crafted POST request can be used to reflect a DOM-based     cross-site scripting (XSS) attack to inject code into the search query form which can get automatically     executed. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity. (CVE-2020-25715)

  - A flaw was found in pki-core. An attacker who has successfully compromised a key could use this flaw to     renew the corresponding certificate over and over again, as long as it is not explicitly revoked. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2021-20179)

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

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1630 advisory.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2021:0020 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-12086:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x before 2.9.9. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint,     the service has the mysql-connector-java jar (8.0.14 or earlier) in the classpath, and an attacker can     host a crafted MySQL server reachable by the victim, an attacker can send a crafted JSON message that     allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server. This occurs because of missing     com.mysql.cj.jdbc.admin.MiniAdmin validation.

    CVE-2019-12814:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.x through 2.9.9. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and     the service has JDOM 1.x or 2.x jar in the classpath, an attacker can send a specifically crafted JSON     message that allows them to read arbitrary local files on the server.

    CVE-2019-14540:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.9.10. It is related to     com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig.

    CVE-2019-16335:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.9.10. It is related to     com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-14540.

    CVE-2019-16942:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and     the service has the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service     endpoint to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists     because of org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and     org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSource mishandling.

    CVE-2019-16943:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and     the service has the p6spy (3.8.6) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint     to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload. This issue exists because of     com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource mishandling.

    CVE-2019-17531:
    A Polymorphic Typing issue was discovered in FasterXML jackson-databind 2.0.0 through 2.9.10. When Default     Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and     the service has the apache-log4j-extra (version 1.2.x) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide a     JNDI service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.

    CVE-2019-20330:

    CVE-2020-25715:
    A flaw was found in pki-core 10.9.0. A specially crafted POST request can be used to reflect a DOM-based     cross-site scripting (XSS) attack to inject code into the search query form which can get automatically     executed. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data integrity.

    CVE-2021-20179:
    A flaw was found in pki-core. An attacker who has successfully compromised a key could use this flaw to     renew the corresponding certificate over and over again, as long as it is not explicitly revoked. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.
