CVE-2022-38130: KeySight RF - smsRestoreDatabaseZip UNC path to Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2022-38130

info:
  name: KeySight RF - smsRestoreDatabaseZip UNC path to Remote Code Execution
  author: daffainfo,jjcho
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The com.keysight.tentacle.config.ResourceManager.smsRestoreDatabaseZip() method is used to restore the HSQLDB database used in SMS. It takes the path of the zipped database file as the single parameter. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can specify an UNC path for the database file (i.e., \\<attacker-host>\sms\<attacker-db.zip>), effectively controlling the content of the database to be restored.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can control database content, potentially leading to data tampering or execution of malicious code.
  remediation: |
    Implement validation and sanitization of the database file path parameter to restrict to trusted locations.
