What is CVE-2022-22114?
CVE-2022-22114 is a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability in sismics docs, published on 10 Jan 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
In Teedy, versions v1.5 through v1.9 are vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The “search term" search functionality is not sufficiently sanitized while displaying the results of the search, which can be leveraged to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts are executed in a victim’s browser when they enter the crafted URL. In the worst case, the victim who inadvertently triggers the attack is a highly privileged administrator. The injected scripts can extract the Session ID, which can lead to full Account Takeover of the administrator, by an unauthenticated attacker.
