In a warning message, the developers state that the"critical" vulnerability (CVE-2022-46337) affects the Apache Derby component contained in TXSeries. Attackers from the network can use an LDAP vulnerability in an unspecified way to bypass security restrictions. They can then view and manipulate sensitive data, among other things.
