What is CVE-2022-37767?

CVE-2022-37767 is a critical code injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 12 Sep 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Pebble Templates 3.1.5 allows attackers to bypass a protection mechanism and implement arbitrary code execution with springbok. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because input to the Pebble templating engine is intended to include arbitrary Java code, and thus either the input should not arrive from an untrusted source, or else the application using the engine should apply restrictions to the input. The engine is not responsible for validating the input.

Weakness: CWE-863
