Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-43840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Aspera Console. 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-2022-43840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-43840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43840/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-43840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gj57-w9c9-x3x9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Aspera Console","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit XPath injection in IBM Aspera Console to exfiltrate sensitive data and reveal XML structure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"aspera_console","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-643","name":"Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions"}],"description":"IBM Aspera Console 3.4.0 through 3.4.4\n\nis vulnerable to an XPath injection vulnerability, which could allow an authenticated attacker to exfiltrate sensitive application data and/or determine the structure of the XML document.","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":"IBM Aspera Console XPath injection","id":"CVE-2022-43840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM Aspera Console information disclosure","id":"CVE-2022-43841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM Spectrum Scale privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2022-43831"},"products":["Aspera Console"],"published":"2025-04-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"A SQL Injection vulnerability has been addressed in IBM Aspera Console","id":"CVE-2025-13379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console SQL injection","id":"CVE-2022-43842","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-23"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console CSV injection","id":"CVE-2021-38963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-24"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2021-38927","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-25"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console information disclosure","id":"CVE-2022-43851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console HTTP header injection","id":"CVE-2022-43847","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"IBM Aspera Console cross-site scripting","id":"CVE-2022-43850","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-14"}],"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":"2025-08-15","vendors":["IBM"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit XPath injection in IBM Aspera Console to exfiltrate sensitive data and reveal XML structure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43840/"}
