CVE-2022-42904Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via proxy settings

Published Nov 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 30, 2025

Command injection in Zoho ManageEngine ADManager Plus 7151 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute operating-system commands. The proxy-settings workflow constructs a system command from administrator-supplied values without neutralizing command syntax. Access to an ADManager Plus administrator account is required, and injected commands execute in the server's security context.
