CVE-2022-28719Network attack vector

Unauthenticated administrator-level code execution via forged updates

Published Apr 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Missing authentication in AssetView before 13.2.0 allows remote attackers to execute code as administrators on managed clients. The application server's communications module accepts a crafted configuration file through forged, unauthenticated traffic as a client software-update instruction. Exploitation requires knowledge of the system configuration, and successful instructions run with client-side administrator privileges.
