Security Bulletin: B2B API of IBM Sterling B2B Integrator vulnerable to multiple issues due to CKEditor

## Summary

IBM Sterling B2B Integrator has addressed the CKEditor security vulnerabilities in B2B API.

## Vulnerability Details

** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-32808]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the clipboard Widget plugin if used alongside the undo feature. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using malformed widget HTML, which would be executed in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 7.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/207430]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-32809]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor is vulnerable to HTML injection. A remote authenticated attacker could inject malicious HTML code into the editor, which when viewed, would abuse the paste functionality and executed in the victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting site.
CVSS Base score: 4.6
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/207429]() for the current score.

** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-41164]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor4 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the Advanced Content Filter (ACF) module to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 8.2

** CVEID: **[CVE-2021-41165]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor4 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the core HTML processing module to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/213846]() for the current score.

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-24728]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 5.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222035]() for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

** CVEID: **[CVE-2022-24729]()
** DESCRIPTION: **CKEditor is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) flaw in the dialog plugin. By sending a specially-crafted regex input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a significant performance drop and results in a browser tab freeze.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: [ https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222037]() for the current score.

## Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an “industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response.” IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES “”AS IS”” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. “Affected Products and Versions” referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
