CVE-2021-20022 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in SonicWall Email Security version 10.0.9.x. The flaw allows a post-authenticated attacker to upload an arbitrary file to the remote host. Available reporting indicates the vulnerability affected SonicWall Email Security deployments and was serious enough to be used in real-world intrusions alongside related SonicWall Email Security flaws. In observed exploitation, attackers were able to place a web shell on the server and then execute commands with inherited NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, indicating that successful file upload could be leveraged to achieve server-side code execution and full compromise of the appliance or host.
