CVE-2022-22912

31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-22912 is a critical prototype pollution vulnerability affecting the plist_project plist library prior to version 3.0.4. This flaw, specifically within the .parse() function, allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially achieve remote code execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, its critical nature warrants immediate patching.
