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

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.
