CVE-2023-36922: OS command injection vulnerability in SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA (IS-OIL)
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.84% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 58.1% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Due to programming error in function module and report, IS-OIL component in SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA allows an authenticated attacker to inject an arbitrary operating system command into an unprotected parameter in a common (default) extension. On successful exploitation, the attacker can read or modify the system data as well as shut down the system.
