CVE-2022-2414: Access to external entities when parsing XML documents can lead to XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 56/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 85.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.7% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: idm-pki-acme (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934; idm-pki-base (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934; idm-pki-base-java (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to idm-pki-acme (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934; idm-pki-base (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934; idm-pki-base-java (AlmaLinux:8) 10.12.0-4.module_el8.7.0+3316+50b99934 or later.

Access to external entities when parsing XML documents can lead to XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This flaw allows a remote attacker to potentially retrieve the content of arbitrary files by sending specially crafted HTTP requests.
