CVE-2022-28810

CVE-2022-28810 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.8) vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on March 7, 2023, which means exploitation in the wild has been confirmed; US federal agencies had to remediate it by March 28, 2023. CISA does not currently list it as used in ransomware campaigns. Zoho has 9 vulnerabilities in the KEV catalog, 2 of them linked to ransomware.

Zoho ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus before build 6122 allows a remote authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating OS commands as SYSTEM via the policy custom script feature. Due to the use of a default administrator password, attackers may be able to abuse this functionality with minimal effort. Additionally, a remote and partially authenticated attacker may be able to inject arbitrary commands into the custom script due to an unsanitized password field.
