Vulnerability in zendframework - regression update

Background

Zend Framework is a popular PHP framework used for developing web applications. It provides a set of libraries and tools that enable developers to build robust and secure applications. However, multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Zend Framework, which could potentially be exploited by attackers to compromise the security of the application.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerabilities in Zend Framework include:

1. XML External Entity (XXE) injection attacks: Certain functions in Zend Framework are vulnerable to XXE attacks, which allow an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server or perform other malicious actions.

2. Failure to consider shared settings: In the PHP-FPM case, the libxml_disable_entity_loader setting is shared among threads, leading to a potential security issue.

3. Lack of protection against XML Entity Expansion attacks: Some functions in Zend Framework are susceptible to XML Entity Expansion attacks, which can cause denial of service or other security issues.

4. Error in consumer's verify method: The consumer's verify method in Zend Framework has a flaw that allows acceptance of wrongly sourced tokens.

5. Specification violation in signing of parameters: Zend Framework incorrectly considers signing a single parameter as sufficient, which violates the specification.

6. SQL injection in ORDER BY statement: The implementation of the ORDER BY SQL statement in Zend_Db_Select is vulnerable to SQL injection when the query string contains parentheses.

7. XML External Entity (XXE) injection vectors: Insecure usage of PHP's DOM extension in Zend Framework can lead to XXE injection attacks.

8. SQL injection vector in sqlsrv extension: Manually quoting a value for the sqlsrv extension using a null byte can result in an SQL injection vulnerability.

9. CRLF injection attacks in mail and HTTP headers: Zend Framework is susceptible to CRLF injection attacks in mail and HTTP headers, which can lead to various security issues.
