Detection & mitigation playbook

Vendor / appliance

  1. Detect

    Inventory every audinate dante application library deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above.

  2. Remediation status

    No patch has shipped for CVE-2022-23748 yet — track the audinate dante application library advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands. Alongside that, restrict the management interface to trusted networks and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations.
