CVE-2022-1248Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated administrator creation via unchecked POST request

Published Apr 6, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

Improper authentication in SAP Information System 1.0 allows remote attackers to create an administrator account through an HTTP POST request. The add_admin.php controller performs the privileged account-creation operation without verifying an authenticated session. No existing account or user interaction is required, and the resulting credentials provide administrator access to the web application.
