CVE-2022-22947
RCE in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Network Repository Function 1.15.0 … 22.2.0
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2022-22947 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Network Repository Function. Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 0.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2022-22947 is a code injection vulnerability affecting Spring Cloud Gateway versions prior to 3.1.1 and 3.0.7. It arises when the Gateway Actuator endpoint is enabled, exposed, and left unsecured, allowing specially crafted requests to inject and execute arbitrary code due to improper handling of input in expression language evaluation (CWE-94 and CWE-917).
A remote attacker with no authentication can send a malicious HTTP request to the exposed actuator endpoint and achieve arbitrary remote code execution on the host with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, as reflected in the CVSS 10.0 score.
Advisories from VMware Tanzu and Oracle list the fixed versions and urge operators to upgrade Spring Cloud Gateway to 3.1.1 or later (or 3.0.7 or later) while ensuring the actuator endpoint is not publicly reachable without proper access controls.
The EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.9755 with a current value of 0.9446, indicating sustained high exploitation interest after disclosure. Public proof-of-concept exploits have been posted to Packet Storm.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
