ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus Unauthenticated SAML RCE

Disclosed
Jan 10, 2023

Description

This exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability
that affects Zoho ManageEngine AdSelfService Plus versions 6210 and
below (CVE-2022-47966). Due to a dependency to an outdated library
(Apache Santuario version 1.4.1), it is possible to execute arbitrary
code by providing a crafted `samlResponse` XML to the ADSelfService Plus
SAML endpoint. Note that the target is only vulnerable if it has been
configured with SAML-based SSO at least once in the past, regardless of
the current SAML-based SSO status.
