Description |
This article describes the VMware Spring Cloud Function remote code execution vulnerability assessment with FortiDAST.
CVE-2022-22963 vulnerability was discovered in VMware Spring Cloud Function. Spring Framework is an open source lightweight Java-based platform application development framework for creating high-performing, easily testable code. And, Spring Cloud provides developer tools to build distributed systems (e.g. configuration management, service discovery, etc). By crafting a malicious expression an attacker can execute remote code execution and get local resource access to the target. |
Scope |
FortiDAST version 23.2 |
Solution |
Detection against that vulnerability is empowered by the FortiDAST Scripting Engine (FSE).
This technology enables FortiDAST to assess remotely with high level of confidence if an asset is vulnerable to a specific vulnerability by testing the disarmed exploit against the asset itself.
To configure the scan, you will need to enable the FSE group signature “spring-framework” which will select the underlying script: 'CVE-2022-22963 Spring Cloud Function 3.1.6, 3.2.2 and older Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'
For reference, a step-by-step guide on how to configure FortiDAST to trigger FSE can be found on Fortinet’s blog.
