IBM Cloud Pak for Network Automation v2.4.3 addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, listed in the CVEs below.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-1304
**DESCRIPTION:**e2fsprogs could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system or cause a segmentation fault.
CVSS Base score: 7
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/224602 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-36944
**DESCRIPTION:**Scala could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in LazyList. By sending specially-crafted request using gadget chain, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, erase contents of arbitrary files or make network connections.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/237018 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-41946
**DESCRIPTION:**Postgresql JDBC could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by not limit access to created readable files in the TemporaryFolder. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 6.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/240853 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-46175
**DESCRIPTION:**JSON5 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution flaw in the parse method. 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: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/242965 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H)

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)

**DESCRIPTION:**An unspecified error in with TrustCor’s ownership also operated a business that produced spyware in Certifi has an unknown impact and attack vector.
CVSS Base score: 6.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/241627 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-38900
**DESCRIPTION:**decode-uri-component is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation by the decodeComponents function. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/241069 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-2022-37603
**DESCRIPTION:**webpack loader-utils is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the interpolateName function in interpolateName.js. By sending a specially-crafted regex input using the url variable, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
