Attack Background

The VMware Workspace ONE Access and Identity Manager products provide authentication and authorization services. These products have a vulnerability in the server-side template mechanism, allowing untrusted data to be processed by the server as part of the template. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker sends an HTTP request with a malicious command or Java code injected into a query parameter. The template engine processes the malicious HTTP request, running shell commands or Java code on the server. The attacker can then exploit an additional vulnerability (CVE-2022-22960) in an attack chain to escalate their privileges to root and gain control of a system.
