Positive Technologies (AI Summary)

CVSS v3.1

7.5

High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: JWIG (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (service degradation) via loops of references to external templates. However, it has been disputed by multiple third parties who state that only the application developer can trigger the issue, so no privilege boundaries are crossed. It seems possible that this is a vulnerability class to which an JWIG application may be vulnerable if template contents can be influenced, but this would be an issue in the application itself, not JWIG.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
