An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-40771 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp Manageengine Servicedesk Plus. 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-2022-40771/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40771/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40771","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40771/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40771","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gxvp-6gxm-ghqv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ITSM web application","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus to disclose sensitive information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_assetexplorer","vendor":"zohocorp"},{"product":"manageengine_servicedesk_plus","vendor":"zohocorp"},{"product":"manageengine_servicedesk_plus_msp","vendor":"zohocorp"},{"product":"manageengine_supportcenter_plus","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus versions 13010 and prior are vulnerable to an XML External Entity attack that leads to Information Disclosure.","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":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40771","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zohocorp:manageengine_servicedesk_plus","products":["zohocorp:manageengine_servicedesk_plus"],"type":"xxe","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40772"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-40770"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-11-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in Manage Engine Asset Explorer Agent","id":"CVE-2021-20110","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12959","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-08"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-14693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-26601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-06"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-35403","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Manage Engine Asset Explorer Agent","id":"CVE-2021-20108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-19"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-28","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in Zoho ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus to disclose sensitive information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40771/"}
