CVE-2022-23457

high
malware scan detection code search

ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, the default implementation of `Validator.getValidDirectoryPath(String, String, File, boolean)` may incorrectly treat the tested input string as a child of the specified parent directory. This potentially could allow control-flow bypass checks to be defeated if an attack can specify the entire string representing the 'input' path. This vulnerability is patched in release 2.3.0.0 of ESAPI. As a workaround, it is possible to write one's own implementation of the Validator interface. However, maintainers do not recommend this.

HIGH
exploitability
Attack Vector
Network
Attack Vector (AV:N): exploitable remotely over the network — most dangerous. no physical or adjacent access needed.
Attack Complexity
High
Attack Complexity (AC:H): exploitation requires specific conditions outside the attacker's control (race condition, non-default config, etc).
Privileges Required
Low
Privileges Required (PR:L): requires basic user-level access.
User Interaction
None
User Interaction (UI:N): no victim action needed. fully exploitable without user interaction.
impact
Scope
Unchanged
Scope (S:U): impact limited to the vulnerable component.
Confidentiality
High
Confidentiality (C:H): total information disclosure. attacker gains access to all data within the component.
Integrity
High
Integrity (I:H): complete data modification possible. attacker can modify any data.
Availability
High
Availability (A:H): total denial of service. attacker can fully shut down the resource.
