The score comes from this vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X
- Attack vector: Network — reachable from anywhere that can route to the service.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Attack requirements: None — no deployment-specific condition has to hold.
- Privileges required: None — an unauthenticated stranger can try it.
- User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
- Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Integrity impact: None.
- Availability impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
Weakness class
CVE-2022-50807 is classified as CWE-643: Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection'). The product uses external input to dynamically construct an XPath expression used to retrieve data from an XML database, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes that input. This allows an attacker to control the structure of the query.
