CVE-2022-31597Network attack vector

Privilege escalation via missing business-partner authorization

Published Jul 12, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Missing authorization in SAP S/4HANA S4CORE 101 through 106 and SAPSCORE 127 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. The Spain/Slovakia application business-partner extension performs privileged operations without the required authorization check. Low-privileged network access is required, and exploitation exposes or modifies business-partner data without affecting availability.
