This XPath evaluation is intended to be used only by complex feature types (i.e., Application Schema data stores) but is incorrectly being applied to simple feature types as well which makes this vulnerability apply to **ALL** GeoServer instances.

Antes de las versiones 2.23.6, 2.24.4 y 2.25.2, varios par\u00e1metros de solicitud de OGC permit\u00edan la ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo (RCE) por parte de usuarios no autenticados a trav\u00e9s de entradas especialmente dise\u00f1adas en una instalaci\u00f3n predeterminada de GeoServer debido a la evaluaci\u00f3n insegura de nombres de propiedades como expresiones XPath. La API de la librer\u00eda GeoTools a la que llama GeoServer eval\u00faa los nombres de propiedades/atributos para tipos de entidades de una manera que los pasa de manera insegura a la librer\u00eda commons-jxpath, que puede ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario al evaluar expresiones XPath. Esta evaluaci\u00f3n XPath est\u00e1 destinada a ser utilizada \u00fanicamente por tipos de funciones complejas (es decir, almacenes de datos de esquemas de aplicaci\u00f3n), pero tambi\u00e9n se aplica incorrectamente a tipos de funciones simples, lo que hace que esta vulnerabilidad se aplique a **TODAS** las instancias de GeoServer. No se proporciona ninguna PoC p\u00fablica, pero se ha confirmado que esta vulnerabilidad es explotable a trav\u00e9s de solicitudes WFS GetFeature, WFS GetPropertyValue, WMS GetMap, WMS GetFeatureInfo, WMS GetLegendGraphic y WPS Execute. Esta vulnerabilidad puede llevar a la ejecuci\u00f3n de c\u00f3digo arbitrario. Las versiones 2.23.6, 2.24.4 y 2.25.2 contienen un parche para el problema. Existe una workaround eliminando el archivo `gt-complex-xyjar` del GeoServer donde `xy` es la versi\u00f3n de GeoTools (por ejemplo, `gt-complex-31.1.jar` si ejecuta GeoServer 2.25.1). Esto eliminar\u00e1 el c\u00f3digo vulnerable de GeoServer, pero puede interrumpir algunas funciones de GeoServer o evitar que GeoServer se implemente si se necesita el m\u00f3dulo gt-complex.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":9.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"CRITICAL\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":5.9},{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"NETWORK\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":9.8,\"baseSeverity\":\"CRITICAL\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":3.9,\"impactScore\":5.9}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-94\"}]},{\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-95\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geoserver:geoserver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"2.23.6\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"9C28BE03-93E6-4FC4-AA6E-00E41AF25CB0\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geoserver:geoserver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"2.24.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"2.24.4\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6A407E94-A7F2-4A4F-B96E-2B3DC8FF6DF3\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geoserver:geoserver:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"2.25.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"2.25.2\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"CFBAEC7A-6250-45FE-AB54-30D72C03F62D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geotools:geotools:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"29.6\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"732DE428-3515-459F-AE5F-08407BA1A049\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geotools:geotools:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"30.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"30.4\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"D3B2BC3D-0015-4E5D-979A-AB7D18185A57\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:geotools:geotools:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"31.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"31.2\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"50BB4154-B19C-4BFD-8E88-9ED445680706\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://github.com/Warxim/CVE-2022-41852?tab=readme-ov-file#workaround-for-cve-2022-41852\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/security/advisories/GHSA-6jj6-gm7p-fcvv\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Mitigation\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/4797\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\",\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://github.com/geotools/geotools/security/advisories/GHSA-w3pj-wh35-fq8w\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Exploit\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOT-7587\",\"source\":\"security-advisories@github.com\",\"tags\":[\"Vendor Advisory\"]}]}}"
