VULNERABILITY CLASSIFICATION
The vulnerability classification has been performed by using the CVSS scoring system in version 3.1 (CVSS v3.1). The CVSS environmental score is specific to the customer’s environment and will impact the overall CVSS score. The environmental score should therefore be individually defined by the customer to accomplish final scoring. An additional classification has been performed using the CWE classification, a community-developed list of common software security weaknesses. This serves as a common language and as a baseline for weakness identification, mitigation, and prevention efforts. A detailed list of CWE classes can be found at: https://cwe.mitre.org/.

Vulnerability CVE-2022-29875
The application deserialises untrusted data without sufficient validations that could result in an arbitrary deserialization. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code in the affected system if ports 32912/tcp or 32914/tcp are reachable. CVSS v3.1 Base Score 9.8 CVSS Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C
CWE CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
