CVE-2022-41261

Sensitive-file disclosure via improper Windows access controls

Published Dec 12, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Improper access control in SAP Solution Manager Diagnostic Agent 7.20 allows local users on Windows to read sensitive files. SAP has not disclosed the first file or the faulty access-control operation; its data exposes a configuration file containing credentials. An authenticated Windows account is required, and successful exploitation grants access to files and systems outside that account’s authorization.
