Official Description
A post-auth read-only SQL injection vulnerability allows API clients to read non-sensitive configuration database contents in the API controller of Sophos Firewall releases older than version 19.5 GA.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-3710 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-89): SQL injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing or modifying sensitive data.
