Boundary: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity
CVE-2022-36130 is a critical-severity insufficient verification of data authenticity vulnerability in Boundary from HashiCorp, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.10.2 as the first without the flaw, so updating Boundary to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
