CVE-2022-41772
Published: 31 October 2022
Summary
CVE-2022-41772 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Deltaww Infrasuite Device Master. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 12.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions 00.00.01a and prior contain a path traversal vulnerability stemming from improper handling of .ZIP archives that include characters used for directory traversal, which can result in remote code execution. The flaw is tracked under CWE-22 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflecting network-accessible attack conditions with no required privileges or user interaction.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a malicious archive to the affected software and leverage the resulting path traversal to execute arbitrary code on the target system, achieving full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
CISA has published advisories (ICSA-22-298-07) that address the issue for affected industrial control system deployments.
The EPSS score rose materially from a low baseline after disclosure to a peak of 0.1727 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0347, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention.
