CVE-2022-43438Network attack vector

Authenticated system manipulation via administrator API authorization bypass

Published Jan 3, 2023 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Incorrect authorization in EasyTest 17L18S through 22H29 allows remote authenticated users to invoke administrator API functions. The Administrator function accepts API calls from general-user sessions without enforcing the intended administrator-only access restrictions. A general-user account is required; successful requests can manipulate the system or terminate its service.
