CVE-2022-31199
Netwrix Auditor
Netwrix Auditor User Activity Video Recording component contains an insecure objection deserialization vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code as the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM user. Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is able to reach port 9004/TCP, which is commonly blocked by standard enterprise firewalling.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2023-08-01. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply updates per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if updates are unavailable.
