CVE-2023-36925
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSAP Solution Manager (Diagnostics agent) - version 7.20, allows an unauthenticated attacker to blindly execute HTTP requests. On successful exploitation, the attacker can cause a limited impact on confidentiality and availability of the application and other applications the Diagnostics Agent can reach.
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 confidenceAn unauthenticated HTTP request injection vulnerability in SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent v7.20 allows remote attackers to blindly execute HTTP requests without authentication, potentially reaching internal systems accessible to the Diagnostics Agent and causing limited confidentiality and availability impact.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent is installedLocate the Diagnostics Agent installation directory or check for running processes related to SAP Solution Manager. On Windows, check Services for 'SAP Solution Manager Diagnostic Agent' or look for the SAP host agent process.Affected if The product is not installed or only the Solution Manager core system is present without the Diagnostics Agent component.
-
Identify the Diagnostics Agent versionCheck the version of the installed Diagnostics Agent. This can typically be found in the agent's readme, version file, or by querying the agent via its administration interface or logs. Common locations include the /sapmnt/SMD/ directory or the agent's config files.Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.20, as this CVE affects only that specific version.
-
Verify the agent HTTP endpoint is network-accessibleDetermine if the Diagnostics Agent HTTP port (commonly port 50000 or similar, check your specific configuration) is exposed to the network or internet. Check firewall rules, network configuration, and test connectivity to the agent's HTTP listener.Affected if The HTTP endpoint is reachable from untrusted networks without proper network segmentation or access controls.
-
Confirm endpoint lacks authentication requirementsAttempt a test request to the Diagnostics Agent HTTP endpoint without providing credentials. If the request is processed without authentication challenges, the endpoint is vulnerable.Affected if Unauthenticated HTTP requests are accepted and processed by the agent without requiring authentication.
If SAP Solution Manager Diagnostics Agent version 7.20 is installed with its HTTP endpoint network-accessible and accepting unauthenticated requests, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
