Risk Analysis
This vulnerability in multiple WSO2 products allows for unrestricted file upload, leading to remote code execution. The very high EPSS score indicates a high likelihood of exploitation, and its presence in CISA's KEV catalog confirms active exploitation. This makes it a critical vulnerability that needs immediate attention.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is included in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The ability for unrestricted file upload leading to remote code execution makes it a severe threat.
It is essential to apply the latest security updates and patches for WSO2 products to address this unrestricted file upload vulnerability. Implement strict file upload policies and ensure proper validation of all uploaded content.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-29464 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-2022-29464 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.
