CVE-2022-36537
ZK Framework v9.6.1, 9.6.0.1, 9.5.1.3, 9.0.1.2 and 8.6.4.1 allows attackers to access sensitive information via a crafted POST request sent to the component AuUploader.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 95%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 100
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
CISA KEV — actively exploited
- Added to catalog: 2/27/2023
- Remediation due date: 3/20/2023
- Known ransomware use: Known
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
- Nuclei template (automated mass detection) · ZK Framework - Information Disclosure
- Proof of concept on GitHub (unverified) · List of proofs of concept on GitHub
⚠️ GitHub proofs of concept are not verified: some are fake or contain malware. Never run them outside an isolated lab.
🎯 ATT&CK techniques
How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.
- Exploitation
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access90 % - Primary impact
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection85 % - Secondary impact
T1552Unsecured Credentialscredential access80 %
AV:N/PR:N/UI:N indica exposición remota sin autenticación. POST crafted a AuUploader permite acceso a información sensible (C:H). T1005 (lectura de datos accesibles) y T1552 (búsqueda de credenciales) son impactos derivados.
Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
