VMware Tanzu Spring Cloud Function Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Added to KEV: 2022-08-25Federal patch deadline: 2022-09-15

Required Action (CISA)

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

Risk Analysis

This vulnerability in VMware Tanzu's Spring Cloud Function allows for remote code execution and access to local resources. It occurs when a user provides a specially crafted SpEL (Spring Expression Language) as a routing-expression. The very high EPSS score indicates a high likelihood of exploitation, making this a critical vulnerability.

This vulnerability is actively being exploited in the wild and is listed in CISA's KEV catalog, confirming its active exploitation. The nature of the vulnerability suggests it is remotely exploitable through crafted input.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-22963 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

CISA has added CVE-2022-22963 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
