CVE-2020-6235Network attack vector

Unauthenticated data access via Collector Simulator

Published Apr 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Missing authentication in SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent before 7.2 allows remote attackers to access Collector Simulator functions. The Collector Simulator servlet exposes its functionality without verifying that a requester is authenticated. Network access alone is sufficient, and SAP reports confidentiality impact without identifying the exposed data.
