Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38753 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NetIQ Advanced Authentication. 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-2022-38753/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38753/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38753","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38753/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38753","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-55jw-g3q6-jfp4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetIQ Advanced Authentication","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass multi-factor authentication in NetIQ Advanced Authentication, potentially gaining unauthorized access to protected systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"netiq_advanced_authentication","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"This update resolves a multi-factor authentication bypass attack","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":"Auth bypass in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2022-38753","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"CVE-2022-38754 - Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager and OpsBridge Containerized - Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-38754"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DoS in SnakeYAML","id":"CVE-2022-38752"},"products":["NetIQ Advanced Authentication"],"published":"2022-11-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in NetIQ Advanced Authentication","id":"CVE-2023-24468","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-15"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Weak communication protocol identified in Advance Authentication client application","id":"CVE-2021-38121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Improper account management vulnerability in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Handling of sensitive data in process memory in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Sensitive Data Exposure leaks potential information in NetIQ Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-22529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Advance Authentication","id":"CVE-2021-38122","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-28"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-25","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass multi-factor authentication in NetIQ Advanced Authentication, potentially gaining unauthorized access to protected systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38753/"}
