An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-3218 exists.\n\nAffected product: Necta LLC WiFi Mouse (Mouse Server). 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-2022-3218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-3218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3218/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-3218","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9ccj-j63p-ch9p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WiFi Mouse Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass client-side authentication in Necta WiFi Mouse Server to achieve remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[{"product":"wifi_mouse_server","vendor":"necta"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"},{"id":"CWE-603","name":"Use of Client-Side Authentication"}],"description":"Due to a reliance on client-side authentication, the WiFi Mouse (Mouse Server) from Necta LLC's authentication mechanism is trivially bypassed, which can result in remote code execution.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2021-02-25","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-08-15T17:50:46Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/mermehr/MouseServer-1.7.8.5-RCE","stars":1,"title":"PoC for CVE-2022-3218"},{"date":"2021-02-25","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/misc/wifi_mouse_rce","stars":null,"title":"Wifi Mouse RCE"},{"date":"2025-12-18T05:54:12Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/MoisesTapia/cve-2022-3218","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Necta WiFi Mouse (Mouse Server) client-side authentication bypass","id":"CVE-2022-3218","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in gnupg","id":"CVE-2022-3219"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in VISAM VBASE","id":"CVE-2022-3217"},"products":["WiFi Mouse (Mouse Server)"],"published":"2022-09-19","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Necta LLC"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass client-side authentication in Necta WiFi Mouse Server to achieve remote code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3218/"}
