CVE-2023-36926: Information disclosure vulnerability in SAP Host Agent

MediumCVSS 5.3 · v3.1—No exploit No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • 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: 0.46% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

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 missing authentication check in SAP Host Agent - version 7.22, an unauthenticated attacker can set an undocumented parameter to a particular compatibility value and in turn call read functions. This allows the attacker to gather some non-sensitive information about the server.  There is no impact on integrity or availability.
