Security Bulletin: Cúram Social Program Management is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution and SQL injection issues due to Apache Log4j (CVE-2022-23302, CVE-2022-23305, CVE-2022-23307)

Summary

IBM Cúram Social Program Management (SPM) uses the Apache Log4j library for SPM logging infrastructure. There are publicly known vulnerabilities for Apache Log4j (CVE-2022-23302, CVE-2022-23305, CVE-2022-23307) which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, or send specially-crafted SQL statements. This IBM owned log4j-ibm-1.2.17.2.jar file is based on materials taken from Apache Log4j 1.2.17.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-23302
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Log4j could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in JMSSink. By sending specially-crafted JNDI requests using TopicConnectionFactoryBindingName configuration, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/217460 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-23305
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Log4j is vulnerable to SQL injection. A remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the JDBCAppender, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify or delete information in the back-end database.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/217461 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2022-23307
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Log4j could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization in the in Apache Chainsaw component. By sending specially-crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 9.8
