CVE-2022-1606: 
M-Files Server vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A privilege assignment vulnerability was identified in M-Files Server, tracked as CVE-2022-1606. The vulnerability affects M-Files Server versions before 22.3.111.64.0 and before 22.3.11237.1, where incorrect privilege assignment allowed users to read unmanaged objects. The issue was discovered and disclosed in 2022, with a formal advisory issued on November 30, 2022 (M-Files Advisory).

The vulnerability stems from an improper privilege management (CWE-269) where the 'See and undelete deleted objects' permission incorrectly provided access to read undeleted unmanaged objects. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS 3.1 score of 2.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), indicating a relatively low severity. The attack vector is network-based, requiring high privileges and user interaction (M-Files Advisory).

The vulnerability allows authenticated users with specific permissions to read unmanaged objects that they should not have access to, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure (M-Files Advisory).

Users are advised to upgrade to M-Files Server versions 22.3.111.64.0 or 22.3.11237.1 or later, which contain fixes for this vulnerability (M-Files Advisory).
