CVE-2022-2310Network attack vector

Unauthenticated superuser access via whitelisted bypass methods

Published Jul 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Authentication bypass in affected Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway releases allows remote attackers to access the administration UI as superuser. The administration UI incorrectly whitelists authentication-bypass methods and relies on a weak cryptographic password for them. No credentials or user interaction are required, and successful access gives complete administrative control over the gateway.
