CVE-2020-6233Network attack vector

Authenticated system slowdown via missing report authorization

Published Apr 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Missing authorization in SAP S/4HANA for Financial Products Subledger 100 allows remote authenticated users to slow the system. An analysis report can run without its required authorization check, allowing resource-consuming execution that degrades performance. Network access and an authenticated account are required, and the reported consequence is slowdown rather than a crash or shutdown.
