It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-21798 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: General Electric Proficy CIMPLICITY. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21798/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21798/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21798","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21798/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21798","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xvrm-wwcv-vr6g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GE Proficy CIMPLICITY","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cleartext transmission of credentials in GE Proficy CIMPLICITY allows attackers to intercept and reuse them for unauthorized system access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"cimplicity","vendor":"ge"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"The affected product is vulnerable due to cleartext transmission of credentials seen in the CIMPLICITY network, which can be easily spoofed and used to log in to make operational changes to the system.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ICSA-22-053-02 GE Proficy CIMPLICITY-Cleartext","id":"CVE-2022-21798","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in ELECOM LAN router","id":"CVE-2022-21799"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-21797"},"products":["Proficy CIMPLICITY"],"published":"2022-02-25","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"XML external entity in GE Proficy Cimplicity GDS","id":"CVE-2018-15362","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE Digital CIMPLICITY Process Control","id":"CVE-2023-4487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE CIMPLICITY Untrusted Pointer Dereference","id":"CVE-2022-2002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE CIMPLICITY Heap-based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-2948","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE CIMPLICITY Access of Uninitialized Pointer","id":"CVE-2022-2952","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE CIMPLICITY Access of Uninitialized Pointer","id":"CVE-2022-3084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GE CIMPLICITY Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2022-3092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-07"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-16","vendors":["General Electric"]},"summary":"Cleartext transmission of credentials in GE Proficy CIMPLICITY allows attackers to intercept and reuse them for unauthorized system access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21798/"}
