CVE-2020-6307Network attack vector

Sensitive-information disclosure via insufficient authorization checks

Published Jan 14, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Incorrect authorization in SAP Automated Note Search Tool allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive information. ANST fails to perform sufficient authorization checks before returning protected data, but SAP has not publicly identified the affected function, request, or data source. A valid low-privilege SAP session and network access are required, and the reported consequence is limited to reading sensitive information.
