Known exploited vulnerability
CVE-2019-10068
The short answer
CVE-2019-10068 affects n/a n/a and is rated critical (CVSS 9.8). CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2022-03-25: attackers are using it, so patch it first.
What it is
An issue was discovered in Kentico 12.0.x before 12.0.15, 11.0.x before 11.0.48, 10.0.x before 10.0.52, and 9.x versions. Due to a failure to validate security headers, it was possible for a specially crafted request to the staging service to bypass the initial authentication and proceed to deserialize user-controlled .NET object input. This deserialization then led to unauthenticated remote code execution on the server where the Kentico instance was hosted.
Weakness: CWE-502.
