Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Spectrum Copy Data Management can be affected by vulnerabilities in Golang Go, Python, PostgreSQL and cURL libcurl. Vulnerabilities include executing in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site, executing arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser on the system, denial of service attack, exploiting the vulnerability to bypass HSTS check, exploiting the vulnerability to bypass blocklisting methods, exploit the vulnerability to allow incorrect policies to be applied, and exploit the vulnerability to cause a "sister site" to deny service to siblings, as described by the CVEs in the "Vulnerability Details" section.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-29400
DESCRIPTION: Golang Go is vulnerable to HTML injection. A remote attacker could inject malicious HTML code into the templates, which when parsed, would execute in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/255427 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2454
DESCRIPTION: PostgreSQL could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in CREATE SCHEMA ... schema_element. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code as the bootstrap superuser on the system.
CVSS Base score: 6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/256215 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-43552
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a use-after-free flaw when using an HTTP proxy. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242799 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2022-43551
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when the host name in the given URL first uses IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass HSTS check.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242798 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-24329
DESCRIPTION: Python could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the urllib.parse component. By sending a specially-crafted request using URL starts with blank characters, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass blocklisting methods.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247730 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-2455
DESCRIPTION: PostgreSQL could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw with row security policies disregard user ID changes after inlining. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to allow incorrect policies to be applied.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/256218 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-35252
DESCRIPTION: cURL libcurl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw when cookies contain control codes are later sent back to an HTTP(S) server. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a "sister site" to deny service to siblings.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/234980 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
