Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Prowise Reflect version 1.0.9 contains a remote keystroke injection vulnerability that allows attackers to send keyboard events through an exposed WebSocket on port 8082. Attackers can craft malicious web pages to inject keystrokes, opening applications and typing arbitrary text by sending specific WebSocket messages.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Prowise Reflect version 1.0.9 face critical risk from CVE-2022-50925 rated CVSS 9.8. Successful exploitation could critically impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates immediately when available and implement compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Implement network-level access controls to limit exposure; (2) Enable enhanced monitoring and alerting; (3) Apply principle of least privilege.
