CVE-2014-9320Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SYSTEM privilege escalation via exposed logon token

Published Aug 9, 2021 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Improper access control in SAP BusinessObjects Edge 4.1 allows remote authenticated users to gain SYSTEM privileges through CORBA. CORBA resource handlers fail to verify the caller's privileges before returning the SI_PLATFORM_SEARCH_SERVER_LOGON_TOKEN, which CORBA then accepts for SYSTEM actions. Any valid account can reach the flaw; an enabled Guest account removes the credential requirement and exposes all server-stored information to access or modification.
