CVE-2022-31706 is a critical directory traversal vulnerability found in VMware's vRealize Log Insight software. This flaw, along with another broken access control vulnerability (CVE-2022-31704), and an information disclosure bug (CVE-2022-31711), carries severity scores of 9.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scale. These vulnerabilities could potentially allow an unauthenticated malicious actor to inject files into the operating system of an affected appliance, leading to remote code execution. The vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed in a VMware advisory. The first vulnerability, CVE-2022-31706, is particularly concerning as it involves directory traversal, a type of attack that allows attackers to access restricted directories and execute commands outside of the web server's root directory. Coupled with the second vulnerability, CVE-2022-31704, which is a broken access control flaw, these security issues pose serious threats to systems running the affected software. The third vulnerability, CVE-2022-31711, is an information disclosure bug that could allow attackers to gain access to sensitive session and application information, further exacerbating the potential impact of an attack. In response to these threats, Check Point IPS has developed protection measures against these vulnerabilities. However, it is strongly recommended that users of the affected VMware vRealize Log Insight software test and deploy the patch provided by VMware as soon as possible. By promptly addressing these vulnerabilities, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of exploitation and potential damage from these high-severity threats.
