Security Bulletin
Summary
Multiple Security Vulnerabilities may affect IBM Robotic Process Automation for Cloud Pak. Angular is part of the .NET RHEL infrastructure (CVE-2021-4231). Apache UIMA is used by IBM Robotic Process Automation as part of Watson NLP (CVE-2022-32287). SnakeYaml is used by IBM Robotic Process Automation by Abbyy, ClamAv and Watson NLP (CVE-2022-1471). PyTorch is used by IBM Robotic Process Automation as part of Watson NLP (CVE-2022-45907). This bulletin identifies the security fixes to apply to address these vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2021-4231
DESCRIPTION: Angular is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the comments to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 3.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/227465 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2022-32287
DESCRIPTION: Apache UIMA could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user supplied input in a FileUtil class used by the PEAR management component. An attacker could use a specially-crafted archive file containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to create files outside the designated target directory using carefully crafted ZIP entry names.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/239434 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-2022-1471
DESCRIPTION: SnakeYaml could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in the Constructor class. By using a specially-crafted yaml content, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/241118 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2022-45907
DESCRIPTION: PyTorch could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a flaw in the orch.jit.annotations.parse_type_line function. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/241077 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.
