DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
A malicious actor with network access to unpatched VMware servers can exploit this vulnerability. A successful exploit can result in the attacker gaining control of the server and launching additional attacks on network devices, deploying ransomware, or moving laterally across the network.

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.
