CVE-2022-41875
CWE-502Published: November 23, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Optica allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted JSON payloads. Specially crafted JSON payloads may lead to RCE (remote code execution) on the attacked system running Optica. The vulnerability was patched in v. 0.10.2, where the call to the function `oj.load` was changed to `oj.safe_load`.
Risk Analysis
Optica is vulnerable to remote code execution due to the insecure loading of JSON payloads. An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code, warranting a critical severity rating.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV catalog. It is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity.
Upgrade Optica to version 0.10.2 or later, which replaces the insecure function call with a safe alternative.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-41875 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
