CVE-2022-28108: Selenium Grid < 4.0.0-alpha-7 - Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2022-28108

info:
  name: Selenium Grid < 4.0.0-alpha-7 - Remote Code Execution
  author: t0xk
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Selenium Server (Grid) before 4.0.0-alpha-7 permits unauthenticated session creation and unsafe capability injection via /wd/hub/session due to missing Origin validation and weak content-type enforcement.
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution as the Selenium Grid process owner by crafting a malicious payload and sending it to the /wd/hub/session endpoint.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to Selenium Server 4.0.0-alpha-7 or later and restrict network exposure.
