A flaw was found in hibernate-core in versions prior to and including 5.4.23.Final. A SQL injection in the implementation of the JPA Criteria API can permit unsanitized literals when a literal is used in the SQL comments of the query. This flaw could allow an attacker to access unauthorized information or possibly conduct further attacks. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6845-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Hibernate incorrectly handled certain inputs with unsanitized literals. If a user     or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the April 2023 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Console     (Apache Commons FileUpload)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0 and     14.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP     to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized     ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server.
    (CVE-2023-24998)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Samples     (XStream)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic     Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or     frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2022-40152)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Third Party     (Apache Commons Compress)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise     Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2021-36090)
