Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-45803
DESCRIPTION: urllib3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw with not remove the HTTP request body when an HTTP redirect response using status 303. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.

CVEID: CVE-2023-5752
DESCRIPTION: Python Packaging Authority pip could allow a local authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw when installing a package from a Mercurial VCS URL. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary configuration options to the "hg clone" call to modify how and which repository is installed.
CVSS Base score: 3.3

CVEID: CVE-2024-28102
DESCRIPTION: JWCrypto is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted JWE Token with a high compression ratio, a remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285118 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-28849
DESCRIPTION: Node.js follow-redirects module could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the leakage of credentials when clearing authorization header during cross-domain redirect, but keeping the proxy-authentication header. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain credentials and other sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285690 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-28863
DESCRIPTION: isaacs node-tar is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the lack of folders count validation. By sending a specially crafted request, an remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286169 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-28176
DESCRIPTION: Node.js jose module is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw during JWE Decryption operations. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to consume unreasonable amount of CPU time or memory, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/285538 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-27088
DESCRIPTION: medikoo es5-ext is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw. By providing specially crafted regex input, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 4.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/284319 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-1597
DESCRIPTION: PostgreSQL JDBC Driver (PgJDBC) is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially crafted SQL statements when using the non-default connection property preferQueryMode=simple in combination with application code that has a vulnerable SQL that negates a parameter value, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.
CVSS Base score: 10
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/283693 for the current score.

The IBM Security QRadar EDR operator can be upgraded automatically when new compatible versions are available. However, you can control whether an operator is upgraded automatically by setting an approval strategy.
Two approval strategies are available:
- Automatic (default) - New operator versions are installed automatically when they are available on the subscription channel.
- Manual - When a new operator version is available on the subscription channel, the subscription indicates that an update is available, but you must approve the update manually.
For more information about the manual installation process, view Installing QRadar EDR

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.
