Deeper analysis
CVE-2022-47874 is an improper access control flaw (CWE-863) affecting the /tc/rpc endpoint in Jedox GmbH Jedox version 2020.2.5. Remote authenticated users can invoke the class com.jedox.etl.mngr.Connections and its getGlobalConnection method to retrieve details of configured database connections. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low privileges required with high impact to confidentiality.
An attacker who already possesses valid low-privileged credentials can exploit the endpoint to obtain database connection information, including credentials, without any further authorization checks. This exposure enables subsequent attacks against the underlying databases or lateral movement within the environment.
Public references include a detailed vulnerability disclosure report and proof-of-concept material on Packet Storm that describe the affected RPC call. The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.3501 before receding to the current value of 0.1410, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest.
