    CVEID: 186425
    Description: The jose.4.j library could allow a remote attacker
    to obtain sensitive information, caused by an Elliptic Curve Key

Local fix

  • CVEID: CVE-2020-4687
    Mitigation: Add the docParamsToIgnore parameter to the server
    configuration and put a value in it that is not a standard URL
    queryParameter (such as mitigateCacheFlaw) to prevent the
    default value security_token from being used and, therefore,
    making the document-caching user session specific again.
    Limitations of mitigation: The mitigation will work only where
    docIdPrototype is ${originalDocURL} and not where it has been
    set to a subset of the URL parameters passed to enable ICN
    clearing of ViewONE cache for non-versioned documents (as in
    current versions of ICN).
