Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40177)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application within the "Operation" web application. A remote user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40178)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the "Import Files" functionality of the "Operation" web application.

A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website, such as execute arbitrary Axon queries against the device.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40181)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the device embedded browser does not prevent interaction with alternative URI schemes when redirected to corresponding resources by web application code. A remote user can execute arbitrary code on the target system.


7) Execution with unnecessary privileges (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40182)
