SolarView Compact contains a command injection vulnerability due to improper validation of input values on the send test mail console of the product's web server.
Apply updates per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if updates are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
SolarView Compact is vulnerable to command injection due to insufficient validation of input values on its web server's send test mail console. This allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary commands. This is a high-severity issue with a very high exploitation likelihood (EPSS 0.94372) and is actively exploited.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable through the product's web server.
Apply the latest security updates for SolarView Compact to address the command injection vulnerability. Ensure all user input is properly validated and sanitized before processing.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-29303 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-2022-29303 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.
