Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Prior to version 2.2.3, Werkzeug&#8217;s multipart form data parser will parse an unlimited number of parts, including file parts. Parts can be a small amount of bytes, but each requires CPU time to parse and may use more memory as Python data. If a request can be made to an endpoint that accesses `request.data`, `request.form`, `request.files`, or `request.get_data(parse_form_data=False)`, it can cause unexpectedly high resource usage. This allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it. The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. The amount of RAM required can trigger an out of memory kill of the process. Unlimited file parts can use up memory and file handles. If many concurrent requests are sent continuously, this can exhaust or kill all available workers. Version 2.2.3 contains a patch for this issue.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-24021\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">\u2022\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>CVE-2023-24021<\/a> &#8211; Incorrect handling of &#8216;\\0&#8217; bytes in file uploads in ModSecurity before 2.9.7 may allow for Web Application Firewall bypasses and buffer over-reads on the Web Application Firewall when executing rules that read the FILES_TMP_CONTENT collection.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-23934\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">\u2022\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>CVE-2023-23934<\/a> &#8211; Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Browsers may allow &#8220;nameless&#8221; cookies that look like `=value` instead of `key=value`. A vulnerable browser may allow a compromised application on an adjacent subdomain to exploit this to set a cookie like `=__Host-test=bad` for another subdomain. Werkzeug prior to 2.2.3 will parse the cookie `=__Host-test=bad` as __Host-test=bad`. If a Werkzeug application is running next to a vulnerable or malicious subdomain which sets such a cookie using a vulnerable browser, the Werkzeug application will see the bad cookie value but the valid cookie key. The issue is fixed in Werkzeug 2.2.3.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-23856\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">\u2022\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>CVE-2023-23856<\/a> &#8211; In SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (Web Intelligence user interface) &#8211; version 430, some calls return json with wrong content type in the header of the response.

In versions prior to 2.22.1, if a malicious URI is passed to the library, the library can be tricked into performing an operation on a different API endpoint than intended. The code Spotipy uses to parse URIs and URLs allows an attacker to insert arbitrary characters into the path that is used for API requests. Because it is possible to include &#8220;..&#8221;, an attacker can redirect for example a track lookup via spotifyApi.track() to an arbitrary API endpoint like playlists, but this is possible for other endpoints as well. The impact of this vulnerability depends heavily on what operations a client application performs when it handles a URI from a user and how it uses the responses it receives from the API. This issue is patched in version 2.22.1.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cve.mitre.org\/cgi-bin\/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-22942\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">\u2022\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>CVE-2023-22942<\/a> &#8211; In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, a cross-site request forgery in the Splunk Secure Gateway (SSG) app in the &amp;#8216;kvstore_client&amp;#8217; REST endpoint lets a potential attacker update SSG [App Key Value Store (KV store)](https:\/\/docs.splunk.com\/Documentation\/Splunk\/latest\/Admin\/AboutKVstore) collections using an HTTP GET request.
