CVE-2022-21196Network attack vector

Remote code execution via unprotected API routes

Published Feb 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Improper authorization in Airspan Networks Mimosa products allows remote attackers to execute code through exposed API routes. Multiple API routes omit required authentication and authorization checks before performing privileged operations. No credentials or user interaction are required; successful requests can expose sensitive data, interrupt service, or execute code on cloud-connected devices.
