Summary
CVE-2022-38817 is a high-severity Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306) vulnerability in Linuxfoundation Dapr Dashboard. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 1.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
Dapr Dashboard versions 0.1.0 through 0.10.0 contain an incorrect access control vulnerability tracked as CVE-2022-38817 and CWE-306. The flaw permits unauthenticated network attackers to retrieve sensitive data from the dashboard component, reflected in its CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 with an attack vector of network, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.
An attacker with network reachability to an affected Dapr Dashboard instance can directly access endpoints or resources that should be protected, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information without authentication.
Public references point to the project repository and issue 222, but do not detail specific patches or mitigation steps in the supplied information. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.8357 and currently stands at 0.7727, indicating sustained exploitation interest after disclosure.

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.
Requires established identification and authentication to unlock, mitigating missing authentication for continued system access.
Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.
Authorizing mobile device connections to organizational systems ensures authentication is performed for this critical access function.
Guarantees critical functions are protected by mandatory invocation of the access control mechanism.
Auditing sessions makes it possible to detect access to critical functions without required authentication.
The assessment process confirms authentication is present and effective for critical functions, preventing exploitation from missing authentication.
Certification assesses that critical functions have required authentication controls in place.
Disabling non-essential functions and services eliminates the need to secure them, reducing exposure from missing authentication on unnecessary components.
