CVE-2022-23221
H2 Console before 2.1.210 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a jdbc:h2:mem JDBC URL containing the IGNORE_UNKNOWN_SETTINGS=TRUE;FORBID_CREATION=FALSE;INIT=RUNSCRIPT substring, a different vulnerability than CVE-2021-42392.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 64.8%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
