CVE-2022-45378 - Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Severity: None2023-02-03

Abstract

In the default configuration of Apache SOAP, an RPCRouterServlet is available without authentication. This gives an attacker the possibility to invoke methods on the classpath that meet certain criteria. Depending on what classes are available on the classpath this might even lead to arbitrary remote code execution.

The Oxygen products incorporate Apache SOAP as a third-party library. This advisory was opened to address the potential impact of this third-party library vulnerability.
