CVE-2022-1292 high CVSS 7.3

OS Command Injection in Siemens Openssl (CVE-2022-1292)

Summary

OS command injection in Siemens Openssl (CVE-2022-1292). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection. This script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash command line tool. Fixed in OpenSSL 3.0.3 (Affected 3.0.0,3.0.1,3.0.2). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1o (Affected 1.1.1-1.1.1n). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2ze (Affected 1.0.2-1.0.2zd).

❓ What is the problem

OS command injection (CWE-78) exists in Siemens Openssl.

📍 Affected scope

Affected versions of Siemens Openssl: 1.1.1 - 1.1.1n.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.3/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

🔧 How to fix

Update to the patched release per vendor advisory. (If a vulnerable version 1.1.1 - 1.1.1n is in production, plan an immediate maintenance window.)

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Openssl' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Openssl' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Openssl を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Match against affected range verify
```
Confirm if version satisfies `1.1.1 - 1.1.1n`
```
Step 1 で見つかったバージョンが影響範囲 1.1.1 - 1.1.1n に該当するか照合。本番で稼働中ならインシデント扱い。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
