The standard format for interpolation is \"${prefix:name}\", where \"prefix\" is used to locate an instance of org.apache.commons.configuration2.interpol.Lookup that performs the interpolation. Starting with version 2.4 and continuing through 2.7, the set of default Lookup instances included interpolators that could result in arbitrary code execution or contact with remote servers. These lookups are: - \"script\" - execute expressions using the JVM script execution engine (javax.script) - \"dns\" - resolve dns records - \"url\" - load values from urls, including from remote servers Applications using the interpolation defaults in the affected versions may be vulnerable to remote code execution or unintentional contact with remote servers if untrusted configuration values are used. Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Commons Configuration 2.8.0, which disables the problematic interpolators by default.","cwes":[],"vendors":[{"vendor":"cloudflare","status":"no_history","basis":"claimed","firstOn":null,"firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":null,"freePlan":false,"claims":[]},{"vendor":"aws","status":"none","basis":"claimed","firstOn":null,"firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":null,"freePlan":false,"claims":[]},{"vendor":"azure","status":"none","basis":"claimed","firstOn":null,"firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":null,"freePlan":false,"claims":[]},{"vendor":"google","status":"no_history","basis":"claimed","firstOn":null,"firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":null,"freePlan":false,"claims":[]},{"vendor":"fastly","status":"no_history","basis":"claimed","firstOn":null,"firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":null,"freePlan":false,"claims":[]},{"vendor":"f5","status":"rule","basis":"claimed","firstOn":"2026-01-20","firstIsNew":false,"daysToRule":null,"daysAtMost":1294,"freePlan":false,"claims":[{"id":"217daea2904bb3aeb5cf1e3845695897e4c1302495f7184ef28f115cd599e455","cve_id":"CVE-2022-33980","vendor":"f5","product":"Attack signatures","rule_id":"200104807","rule_name":"Apache Commons Configuration Lookup expression (Parameter)","change":"updated","default_action":null,"published_on":"2026-01-20","source_url":"https://docs.cloud.f5.com/docs-v2/platform/changelogs/security-details-changelog","source_title":"F5 Distributed Cloud attack signatures changelog","excerpt":"Updated: signature 200104807 \"Apache Commons Configuration Lookup expression (Parameter)\" (Server Side Code Injection, risk High), systems: Apache, Apache Tomcat, Apache Struts.

Perform a read-only assessment within your authorized access. Do not send exploit traffic, scan third-party systems, change configuration or restart services.\n\n1. Verify the CVE record at https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-33980 and the vendor advisories (https://www.debian.org/security/2022/dsa-5290). Establish affected and fixed versions, including vendor backports. The record lists: Apache Software Foundation Apache Commons Configuration: affected Apache Commons Configuration to before 2.8.0. Cite sources and retrieval dates; flag anything you cannot verify.\n2. Inventory deployments of Apache Software Foundation Apache Commons Configuration: asset, environment, owner where known, installed version or build, and how you confirmed it (package metadata, a version endpoint, image tags). An image tag alone does not prove the running version.\n3. Identify which deployments are reachable from the internet or untrusted networks, and through which paths (direct origin, load balancer, CDN or WAF).\n4. Assess compensating controls separately from patch status. Current edge WAF coverage for this CVE: F5: rule exists, check whether it is enabled. Live data: https://cve.vigilbase.com/api/v1/cves/CVE-2022-33980. Check whether the rule is enabled and in block mode on each path, and whether any path bypasses the WAF. A WAF rule is not a patch.\n5. Check logs on exposed instances for requests matching the public exploit, if your access allows.\n\nReturn a short summary and a table: asset | version/build | assessment (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | exposure | compensating control | evidence | next action. List what you could not assess and the access needed to resolve it. Do not infer absence of compromise from patch status or a lack of alerts.\n\nRemediation guidance: Apply the vendor's fix; the advisory lists the affected and fixed versions. Keep a WAF rule in place while you patch: F5 ships a rule you may need to switch on. A WAF rule reduces exposure; it does not replace the patch.\nMore: https://cve.vigilbase.com/cve/CVE-2022-33980"},"measured":[],"sightings":null,"social":{"total":0,"first_seen":null,"daily":[{"day":"2026-10-22","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-23","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-24","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-25","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-26","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-27","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-28","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-29","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-30","posts":0},{"day":"2026-10-31","posts":0},{"day":"2026-11-01","posts":0},{"day":"2026-11-02","posts":0},{"day":"2026-11-03","posts":0},{"day":"2026-11-04","posts":0}],"top_posts":[],"exploit_repositories":[]}}
