CVE-2023-0093Network attack vector

User-assisted command injection via enrollment URL

Published Mar 6, 2023 · Updated Mar 6, 2025

OS command injection in Okta Advanced Server Access Client 1.13.1 through 1.68.1 allows attackers to execute commands during enrollment. The client invokes an outdated third-party webbrowser library with an attacker-controlled server URL, but Okta has not disclosed the vulnerable call path or exact neutralization failure. Exploitation requires phishing a user into entering the URL during enrollment, after which injected commands execute in the client context.
