CVE-2020-6212Network attack vector

Tax report exposure and modification via omitted check

Published Apr 24, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Missing authorization checks in SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA tax reports allow remote authenticated users to read or modify report data. The Egypt-localized Clearing of Liabilities and Remittance Statement and Summary reports omit the F_BKPF_BUK company-code authorization check before report data is returned or changed. A valid SAP account with access to the report functions is required, and the consequence is limited to disclosure or modification of some tax reports.
