Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
The software loads libraries or programs from a location an attacker can write to.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, and nobody has to click anything. Success also depends on conditions the attacker does not fully control.
What an attacker gains
A successful attack can read the data it protects, change data or behaviour and take it offline. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker run their code inside your build or your running service.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place SAP_SE SAP Host Agent runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
- While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
Description from NVD
SAP Host Agent does not sufficiently validate certain inputs. Under certain condition, an attacker with low privileges could abuse the affected functionality to influence an internal component into loading a malicious file under a privileged account. Successful exploitation could lead to persistent code execution, resulting in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Build pipelines, dependencies and plugins. The flaw sits between third-party code and your build or runtime.
- Update channels. The flaw sits between third-party code and your build or runtime.
Trust boundaries in play
- Authenticated network access. An account is needed, so exposure follows who can sign in: customers, partners or staff.
- Between third-party code and your build or runtime. An attacker who crosses it can run their code inside your build or your running service.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does SAP_SE SAP Host Agent run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
