Keysight RF Sensor - SQLi (CVE-2022-38130)

CVE-2022-38130 is a critical vulnerability in Keysight Technologies Sensor Management Server that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to restore the application's HSQLDB database from a malicious UNC path. By exploiting this flaw, attackers can gain full control over the database content, potentially leading to data compromise, unauthorized access, or complete system takeover.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 7th of January 2026.

CrowdSec network observations suggest that most exploitation of CVE-2022-38130 involves focused reconnaissance to identify viable targets. Attackers typically tailor their campaigns based on system exposure and configuration. It is unlikely that a given attack is accidental. Data from the CrowdSec community also indicates a gradual decrease in attacks targeting CVE-2022-38130. While still present in the wild, exploitation levels have dropped noticeably week-over-week. This may signal that the vulnerability is becoming less relevant or that defenses are improving fast enough for attackers to lose interest.

Attackers exploit the /server/service/smsConfigServiceHttpInvoker endpoint by sending crafted Java serialized objects containing UNC file paths, enabling remote code execution or manipulation of the database through the smsRestoreDatabaseZip method.
