CVE-2023-3629: Infinispan: non-admins should not be able to get cache config via rest api
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.72% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 53.7% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: org.infinispan:infinispan-server-rest (Maven) 15.0.0.Dev04, 14.0.18.Final.
- Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 4.3, NVD 6.5.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.infinispan:infinispan-server-rest (Maven) 15.0.0.Dev04, 14.0.18.Final or later.
