CVE-2022-22959Network attack vector

JDBC URI validation via cross-site request forgery

Published Apr 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in VMware Workspace ONE Access, Identity Manager, and vRealize Automation lets remote attackers validate a JDBC URI. The affected JDBC validation workflow accepts a forged request from a victim browser and validates the attacker-supplied URI without confirming intent. Exploitation requires user interaction and causes the products to process an attacker-chosen database connection URI; VMware has not published the request handler or downstream effects.
