CVE-2022-23240Network attack vector

Unauthorized EMS subscription updates via improper authorization

Published Feb 28, 2023 · Updated Mar 18, 2025

Improper authorization in NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager before 9.11P1 allows remote authenticated users to update EMS subscriptions. NetApp identifies the EMS subscription update path as the affected locus but has not disclosed which authorization check is missing or bypassed. Low-privileged application credentials and network access are required, and exploitation changes subscription configuration without reading data or interrupting service.
