Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM App Connect Enterprise is vulnerable to a remote attacker in Node.js and a denial of service in Node.js modules fast-xml-parser and async. This bulletin identifies the steps to take to address the vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-41818
DESCRIPTION: Natural Intelligence fast-xml-parser is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the currency.js script. By sending a specially crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/350233 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-39249
DESCRIPTION: Async is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) while parsing function in autoinject function. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
Note: This vulnerability is disputed by the supplier because there is no realistic threat model: regular expressions are not used with untrusted input.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/297174 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-2024-27980
DESCRIPTION: Node.js could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by the improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync. By sending a specially crafted command line argument using args parameter, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/287430 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.
