OVERVIEW

In late September 2022 Microsoft released information relating to 2 previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities collectively known as "ProxyNotShell" affecting Microsoft Exchange. These vulnerabilities were noted by security researchers to be actively exploited in the wild. The two vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082) are known to impact Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, 2016, and 2019. ProxyNotShell, according to Microsoft, is two vulnerabilities with "... the first vulnerability, identified as CVE-2022-41040, is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, while the second, identified as CVE-2022-41082, allows remote code execution (RCE) when PowerShell is accessible to the attacker." Microsoft does note that successful exploitation does require authentication to trigger either vulnerability.
