Adobe Connect versions 11.4.5 (and earlier), 12.1.5 (and earlier) are affected by an Improper Access Control vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to impact the integrity of a minor feature. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
CVE-2023-22232
Score elevated to 8.8 because EPSS predicts 82% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.4% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 5.3 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 82%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
