CVSS 3.1
9.0 criticalCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2022-45064
Critical (9.0) in apache apache sling engine. EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.engine 2.14.0.
The SlingRequestDispatcher doesn't correctly implement the RequestDispatcher API resulting in a generic type of include-based cross-site scripting issues on the Apache Sling level. The vulnerability is exploitable by an attacker that is able to include a resource with specific content-type and control the include path (i.e. writing content). The impact of a successful attack is privilege escalation to administrative power.
Please update to Apache Sling Engine >= 2.14.0 and enable the "Check Content-Type overrides" configuration option.
