CVE-2022-22552Network attack vector

State-changing operations via embeddable web console

Published Jan 21, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Clickjacking in Dell EMC AppSync 3.9 through 4.3 allows remote attackers to induce state-changing operations through the web console. AppSync insufficiently restricts how its console UI is rendered in external layers or frames; Dell has not identified the affected route or missing browser control. Exploitation requires a victim with permission to perform AppSync operations to interact with attacker-controlled content.
