Title
Potential Captcha Validate Bypass in flask-session-captcha
Summary
flask-session-captcha is a package which allows users to extend Flask by adding an image based captcha stored in a server side session. In versions prior to 1.2.1, he `captcha.validate()` function would return `None` if passed no value (e.g. by submitting an having an empty form). If implementing users were checking the return value to be **False**, the captcha verification check could be bypassed. Version 1.2.1 fixes the issue. Users can workaround the issue by not explicitly checking that the value is False. Checking the return value less explicitly should still work.

CVE-2021-37625 (GCVE-0-2021-37625)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-08-05 17:15 – Updated: 2024-08-04 01:23

Title
Incorrect Check of Function Return Value in Skytable
Summary
Skytable is an open source NoSQL database. In versions prior to 0.6.4 an incorrect check of return value of the accept function in the run-loop for a TCP socket/TLS socket/TCP+TLS multi-socket causes an early exit from the run loop that should continue infinitely unless terminated by a local user, effectively causing the whole database server to shut down. This has severe impact and can be used to easily cause DoS attacks without the need to use much bandwidth. The attack vectors include using an incomplete TLS connection for example by not providing the certificate for the connection and using a specially crafted TCP packet that triggers the application layer backoff algorithm.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Language Selection

Use a language or compiler that uses exceptions and requires the catching of those exceptions.

Mitigation
Implementation

Properly check all functions which return a value.

Mitigation
Implementation

When designing any function make sure you return a value or throw an exception in case of an error.
