CVE-2023-22897Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated memory disclosure via uninitialized session variable

Published Apr 12, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Information disclosure in Securepoint UTM 12.2.3.1 through 12.2.5 allows remote authenticated users to read process memory. The /spcgi.cgi login handler leaves a session variable uninitialized and returns its stale contents in the sessionid JSON field when a newly issued session ID remains unused. A low-privileged account and a crafted follow-up request without the session ID are required; disclosed data includes memory addresses and environment variables.
