Detection & IOCs extracted from sources · hover to see the quote

• → CVE-2022-22951 is an OS command injection vulnerability in VMware Carbon Black App Control; exploitation requires an authenticated, high-privileged actor with network access to the administration interface — monitor for unexpected OS-level command execution originating from the App Control admin interface process ↗
• → Focus detection on the VMware Carbon Black App Control administration interface as the attack vector; anomalous or unexpected child processes spawned from the App Control server process may indicate exploitation ↗

• · Vulnerability affects specific version ranges only: 8.5.x prior to 8.5.14, 8.6.x prior to 8.6.6, 8.7.x prior to 8.7.4, and 8.8.x prior to 8.8.2 — detections should be scoped to unpatched instances within these ranges ↗
• · Exploitation requires authentication with high privileges; detections targeting unauthenticated or low-privilege sessions will not apply to this CVE ↗
