• CVE-2022-31066: 0.32% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 25.08 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact The /api/v2/config endpoint exposes message bus credentials to local unauthenticated users. In security-enabled mode, message bus credentials are supposed to be kept in the EdgeX secret store and require authentication to access. This vulnerability bypasses the access controls on message bus credentials when running in security-enabled mode. (No credentials are required when running in security-disabled mode.) As a result, attackers could intercept data or inject fake data into the EdgeX message bus. Patches Users should upgrade to EdgeXFoundry Kamakura release (2.2.0) or to the June 2022 EdgeXFoundry LTS Jakarta release (2.1.1). The issue has been patched in the following docker containers and snaps: Patched go modules github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2 = v2.1.1 github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/v2 = v2.1.1 Patched docker containers URL: https://hub.docker.com/r/edgexfoundry - docker.io/edgexfoundry/core-metadata:=2.1.1 -…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-31066

Advisory: Configuration API in EdgeXFoundry 2.1.0 and earlier exposes message bus credentials to local unauthenticated users
IDs: CVE-2022-31066, GHSA-g63h-q855-vp3q
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-31066 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:54 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/v2 2.1.1; github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2 2.1.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/v2: affected < 2.1.1; fixed in 2.1.1
- Go github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2: affected < 2.1.1; fixed in 2.1.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/edgexfoundry/app-functions-sdk-go/v2, github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g63h-q855-vp3q (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-g63h-q855-vp3q lists affected ranges: Go github.com/edgexfoundry/device-sdk-go/v2 >=0 =0 <2.1.1)
