CVE-2022-28217Network attack vector

Authenticated system crash via unvalidated XML

Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Server-side request forgery in SAP NetWeaver EP Web Page Composer 7.20 through 7.50 allows remote authenticated users to crash the system. An affected endpoint accepts XML from an untrusted source without sufficient validation, enabling server-side requests through external entities. Network reachability and a low-privileged authenticated session are required, and the documented consequence is availability loss from a crash.
