CVE-2022-45378Apache SOAP allows unauthenticated users to potentially invoke arbitrary code
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity missing authentication in Apache SOAP from Apache Software Foundation. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 2.5% (higher than 85% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
In the default configuration of Apache SOAP, an RPCRouterServlet is available without authentication. This gives an attacker the possibility to invoke methods on the classpath that meet certain criteria. Depending on what classes are available on the classpath this might even lead to arbitrary remote code execution. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
