Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE') vulnerability in the Policy Engine of Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP), which is also leveraged by Forcepoint One Endpoint (F1E), Web Security Content Gateway, Email Security with DLP enabled, and Cloud Security Gateway prior to June 20, 2022. The XML parser in the Policy Engine was found to be improperly configured to support external entities and external DTD (Document Type Definitions), which can lead to an XXE attack. This issue affects: Forcepoint Data Loss Prevention (DLP) versions prior to 8.8.2. Forcepoint One Endpoint (F1E) with Policy Engine versions prior to 8.8.2. Forcepoint Web Security Content Gateway versions prior to 8.5.5. Forcepoint Email Security with DLP enabled versions prior to 8.5.5. Forcepoint Cloud Security Gateway prior to June 20, 2022.

Forcepoint One Endpoint prior to version 22.01 installed on Microsoft Windows does not provide sufficient anti-tampering protection of services by users with Administrator privileges. This could result in a user disabling Forcepoint One Endpoint and the protection offered by it.

Forcepoint One Endpoint prior to version 22.01 installed on Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to registry key tampering by users with Administrator privileges. This could result in a user disabling anti-tampering mechanisms which would then allow the user to disable Forcepoint One Endpoint and the protection offered by it.

Forcepoint NGFW Engine versions 6.5.11 and earlier, 6.8.6 and earlier, and 6.10.0 are vulnerable to TCP reflected amplification vulnerability, if HTTP User Response has been configured.

Forcepoint Web Security Content Gateway versions prior to 8.5.4 improperly process XML input, leading to information disclosure.

It has been reported that cross-site scripting (XSS) is possible in Forcepoint Web Security, version 8.x, via host header injection. CVSSv3.0: 5.3 (Medium) (/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

Forcepoint NGFW Security Management Center (SMC) versions lower than 6.5.12 or 6.7.1 have a rare issue that in specific circumstances can corrupt the internal configuration database. When the database is corrupted, the SMC might produce an incorrect IPsec configuration for the Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), possibly resulting in settings that are weaker than expected. All SMC versions lower than 6.5.12 or 6.7.1 are vulnerable.

It has been reported that XSS is possible in Forcepoint Email Security, versions 8.5 and 8.5.3. It is strongly recommended that you apply the relevant hotfix in order to remediate this issue.

This vulnerability allows a normal (non-admin) user to disable the Forcepoint One Endpoint (versions 19.04 through 19.08) and bypass DLP and Web protection.

Forcepoint VPN Client for Windows versions lower than 6.6.1 have an unquoted search path vulnerability. This enables local privilege escalation to SYSTEM user. By default, only local administrators can write executables to the vulnerable directories. Forcepoint thanks Peleg Hadar of SafeBreach Labs for finding this vulnerability and for reporting it to us.

Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) 6.4.x before 6.4.7, 6.5.x before 6.5.4, and 6.6.x before 6.6.2 has a serious authentication vulnerability that potentially allows unauthorized users to bypass password authentication and access services protected by the NGFW Engine. The vulnerability affects the following NGFW features when the LDAP authentication method is used as the backend authentication: IPsec VPN, SSL VPN or Browser-based user authentication. The vulnerability does not apply when any other backend authentication is used. The RADIUS authentication method is not vulnerable, for example.

A configuration issue has been discovered in Forcepoint Email Security 8.4.x and 8.5.x: the product is left in a vulnerable state if the hybrid registration process is not completed.

A stack-based buffer overflow in Forcepoint Email Security version 8.5 allows an attacker to craft malicious input and potentially crash a process creating a denial-of-service. While no known Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities exist, as with all buffer overflows, the possibility of RCE cannot be completely ruled out. Data Execution Protection (DEP) is already enabled on the Email appliance as a risk mitigation.

A password reset vulnerability has been discovered in Forcepoint Email Security 8.5.x. The password reset URL can be used after the intended expiration period or after the URL has already been used to reset a password.

Forcepoint User ID (FUID) server versions up to 1.2 have a remote arbitrary file upload vulnerability on TCP port 5001. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to remote code execution. To fix this vulnerability, upgrade to FUID version 1.3 or higher. To prevent the vulnerability on FUID versions 1.2 and below, apply local firewall rules on the FUID server to disable all external access to port TCP/5001. FUID requires this port only for local connections through the loopback interface.

The SSL/TLS handshaking code in OpenSSL 0.9.7a, 0.9.7b, and 0.9.7c, when using Kerberos ciphersuites, does not properly check the length of Kerberos tickets during a handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SSL/TLS handshake that causes an out-of-bounds read.
