Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Edge Application Manager 4.5 has resolved the vulnerability.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2022-24772
DESCRIPTION: Node.js node-forge module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper signature verification when checking for tailing garbage bytes after decoding a DigestInfo ASN.1 structure. By sending a specially-crafted request with garbage data, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222173 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-2022-24771
DESCRIPTION: Node.js node-forge module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper signature verification when checking the digestAlgorithm structure. By using a specially-crafted structure to steal padding bytes and uses unchecked portion of the PKCS#1 encoded message, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to forge a signature when a low public exponent is being used.
CVSS Base score: 7.5

CVEID: CVE-2022-24773
DESCRIPTION: Node.js node-forge module could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by improper signature verification when checking DigestInfo for a proper ASN.1 structure. By using a specially-crafted signature with invalid structures but a valid digest, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass signature verification.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222174 for the current score.

IBM X-Force ID: 217313
DESCRIPTION: Nodejs node-forge module could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution flaw. By adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a __proto__ or constructor payload, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition on the system.
CVSS Base score: 6.3

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.
