Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2022-40765
A command injection flaw in the Mitel Edge Gateway component of MiVoice Connect lets an authenticated attacker with internal network access run system-level commands. Like its sibling Director flaw, it carries a Medium CVSS of 6.8 but confirmed ransomware use, because telephony gateways make durable hiding places that endpoint agents never see. CISA added it to KEV in February 2023.
Do this: Patch Mitel Edge Gateway components and audit voice appliances for unexpected processes or outbound connections.
