CVE-2022-25237
Published: April 11, 2026
Official Description
Bonita Web 2021.2 is affected by a authentication/authorization bypass vulnerability due to an overly broad exclude pattern used in the RestAPIAuthorizationFilter. By appending ;i18ntranslation or /../i18ntranslation/ to the end of a URL, users with no privileges can access privileged API endpoints. This can lead to remote code execution by abusing the privileged API actions.
Risk Analysis
This vulnerability is an authentication/authorization bypass in Bonita Web 2021.2 due to an overly broad exclude pattern. Unprivileged users can access privileged API endpoints, potentially leading to remote code execution. The confirmed exploitation in the wild makes this a critical vulnerability that requires immediate attention.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, and it is listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. Attackers can remotely exploit this flaw.
Organizations using Bonita Web 2021.2 should apply the latest security patches or upgrades from the vendor to correct the overly broad exclude pattern. Review and harden access controls for API endpoints.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-25237 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-2022-25237 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.
