(https://support.sap.com/en/alm/sap-focused-run/expert-portal/) ## Vulnerability Details Vulnerability 1: No authentication is required to interact with the Simple Diagnostic Agent http service on port 3005 by default. Therefore, unauthenticated attackers will have full access to either administrative or other privileged functionalities. Leveraging this access, they would be able to read, modify or delete sensitive information and configurations with sapadm OS user privileges. Vulnerability 2: A path traversal exists in the Simple Diagnostic Agent service listening, by default, on localhost port 3005. A local attacker, without particular privileges, can abuse this flaw in order to display the content of any OS directory which ```sapadm``` has access to. Leading to information disclosure of potentially sensitive data. ## Solution SAP has released SAP Note 3145987 which provide patched versions of the affected components. The patches can be downloaded from https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3145987. Onapsis strongly recommends SAP customers to download the related security fixes and apply them to the affected components in order to reduce business risks. ## Report Timeline - 01/28/2022: Onapsis sends details to SAP - 02/02/2022: SAP provides internal ID - 03/08/2022: SAP releases SAP Note fixing the issue. - 06/21/2022: Advisory published. ## References - Onapsis blogpost: https://onapsis.com/blog/sap-security-patch-day-march-2022-sap-focused-run-affec ted-several-vulnerabilities - CVE Mitre: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-24396 - Vendor Patch: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3145987 ## About Onapsis Research Labs Onapsis Research Labs provides the industry analysis of key security issues that impact business-critical systems and applications.
