21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-22976 is an integer overflow vulnerability in Spring Security versions 5.5.x prior to 5.5.7 and 5.6.x prior to 5.6.4, affecting products like NetApp, Oracle, and VMware Active IQ Unified Manager. When the BCrypt class is configured with the maximum work factor (31), the encoder fails to perform salt rounds due to this overflow, weakening password hashing. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.3 (MEDIUM), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity, potentially leading to a loss of confidentiality. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
