Movable Type XMLRPC API, published on 24 Aug 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38078 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Six Apart Ltd. Movable Type XMLRPC API. 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-2022-38078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38078/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38078/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38078","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f342-4q2c-v2q2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Movable Type CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary OS commands via the XMLRPC API, requiring immediate upgrades to secure Movable Type installations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"movable_type","vendor":"sixapart"}],"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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Movable Type XMLRPC API provided by Six Apart Ltd. contains a command injection vulnerability.
