CVE-2022-44717: An issue was discovered in NetScout nGeniusONE 6.3.2 build 904. Open Redirection can occur (issue 1 of 2). After successful login, an attacker must visit the vulnerable parameter and inject a crafted payload to successfully redirect to an unknown host. The attack vector is Network, and the Attack Complexity required is High. Privileges required are administrator, User Interaction is required, and Scope is unchanged. The user must visit the vulnerable parameter and inject a crafted payload to successfully redirect to an unknown host.
The exploitability of CVE-2022-44717 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
The exploitability of CVE-2022-44717 is influenced by multiple factors. Security teams should analyze system configurations and apply appropriate countermeasures to mitigate threats.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-44717, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2022-44717, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
