CVE-2022-38130Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via UNC database restore

Published Aug 10, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Remote code execution in Keysight Sensor Management Server 2.4.0 allows remote attackers to execute code through a crafted database archive. The smsRestoreDatabaseZip() method accepts an attacker-controlled UNC path, restores the referenced HSQLDB archive, and executes SQL from its script file, including calls that load a DLL. Network access to the unauthenticated service endpoint is sufficient, and successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code in the server process.
