How to Fix CVE-2022-3962

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/kiali/kiali dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/kiali/kiali fixed: 1.57.4 
Upgrade github.com/kiali/kiali to 1.57.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/kiali/kiali

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-3962, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/kiali/kiali:

inspect dependencies for github.com/kiali/kiali

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/kiali/kiali in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.57.4), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/kiali/kiali, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A content spoofing vulnerability was found in Kiali. It was discovered that Kiali does not implement error handling when the page or endpoint being accessed cannot be found. This issue allows an attacker to perform arbitrary text injection when an error response is retrieved from the URL being accessed.
