Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in SAP Work and Inventory Manager using the Agentry_SDK. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the service or flood it with requests, thereby preventing legitimate users from accessing it. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 7.0 and 7.1.

MitigationUpgrade SAP Work and Inventory Manager (Agentry_SDK) to version 7.0, 7.1, or later to remediate this vulnerability. If immediate patching is not possible, consider implementing rate limiting or network-level filters to mitigate flooding attempts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify SAP Work Manager or Agentry SDK installation
    Locate the SAP Work Manager or Agentry SDK installation directory on the system. Check for executable files, DLLs, or configuration files that contain version information. Common locations include C:\Program Files\SAP\ or application-specific directories.
    Affected if The software is installed but version cannot be determined or is below 7.0/7.1
  2. Check installed version of SAP Work Manager
    Access the application or its configuration files to find the version number. This may be found in the application itself (Help > About), in installation logs, or in version-specific configuration files within the installation directory.
    Affected if The installed version is prior to 7.0 or 7.1
  3. Check installed version of SAP Agentry SDK
    Examine the Agentry SDK DLL files or associated manifest files for version metadata. Right-click on the main DLL or executable, select Properties, and check the Version tab. Alternatively, check any version.txt or release notes file in the SDK directory.
    Affected if The installed SDK version is prior to 7.0 or 7.1
  4. Verify if Agentry server component is exposed
    Check network configuration or firewall rules to determine if the Agentry server port (typically ports 8080-8084 or custom-configured ports) is exposed to unauthenticated or untrusted networks.
    Affected if The Agentry server is reachable from untrusted networks without authentication controls

You are affected if SAP Work Manager or Agentry SDK version is installed and the version is prior to 7.0 or 7.1, and the service is network-accessible.
