Vulnerabilities in this advisory
- CVE-2022-43958 — CVE-2022-43958 · CWE-256
User credentials are stored in plaintext in the database without any hashing mechanism. This could allow an attacker to gain access to credentials and impersonate other users.
- CVE-2023-40724 — CVE-2023-40724 · CWE-316
User credentials are found in memory as plaintext. An attacker could perform a memory dump, and get access to credentials, and use it for impersonation.
- CVE-2023-40725 — CVE-2023-40725 · CWE-209
The affected application returns inconsistent error messages in response to invalid user credentials during login session. This allows an attacker to enumerate usernames, and identify valid usernames.
- CVE-2023-40726 — CVE-2023-40726 · CWE-550
The affected application server responds with sensitive information about the server. This could allow an attacker to directly access the database.
- CVE-2023-40727 — CVE-2023-40727 · CWE-347
The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application uses weak outdated application signing mechanism. This could allow an attacker to tamper the application code.
- CVE-2023-40728 — CVE-2023-40728 · CWE-922
The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application stores sensitive application data in an external insecure storage. This could allow an attacker to alter content, leading to arbitrary code execution or denial-of-service condition.
- CVE-2023-40729 — CVE-2023-40729 · CWE-319
The affected application lacks security control to prevent unencrypted communication without HTTPS. An attacker who managed to gain machine-in-the-middle position could manipulate, or steal confidential information.
- CVE-2023-40730 — CVE-2023-40730 · CWE-284
The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application lacks sufficient authorization checks. This could allow an attacker to access confidential information, perform administrative functions, or lead to a denial-of-service condition.
- CVE-2023-40731 — CVE-2023-40731 · CWE-434
The affected application allows users to upload arbitrary file types. This could allow an attacker to upload malicious files, that could potentially lead to code tampering.
- CVE-2023-40732 — CVE-2023-40732 · CWE-613
The QMS.Mobile module of the affected application does not invalidate the session token on logout. This could allow an attacker to perform session hijacking attacks.
