CVE-2024-22124
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 · uneditedUnder certain conditions, Internet Communication Manager (ICM) or SAP Web Dispatcher - versions KERNEL 7.22, KERNEL 7.53, KERNEL 7.54, KRNL64UC 7.22, KRNL64UC 7.22EXT, KRNL64UC 7.53, KRNL64NUC 7.22, KRNL64NUC 7.22_EXT, WEBDISP 7.22_EXT, WEBDISP 7.53, WEBDISP 7.54, could allow an attacker to access information which would otherwise be restricted causing high impact on confidentiality.
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 confidenceThis is an information disclosure vulnerability in SAP's Internet Communication Manager (ICM) and SAP Web Dispatcher. Under certain conditions, an unauthenticated attacker can access information that would otherwise be restricted, resulting in high confidentiality impact.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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.
-
Identify if SAP ICM or Web Dispatcher is runningCheck running processes for sapwebdisp.exe (Windows) or sapwebdisp (Unix) and icm.exe/icm (Internet Communication Manager). On SAP systems, use transaction SMICM to verify ICM is active.Affected if Either ICM or Web Dispatcher processes are running on the system
-
Check SAP kernel version for NetWeaverExecute the 'sapkernel' or 'sapuxuserchk' binary with version flag, or access SAP transaction SM51 to view installed kernel release. Alternatively, check the kernel files in the /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run directory.Affected if Kernel version matches exactly 7.22, 7.53, or 7.54 (shown as kernel_7.22, kernel_7.53, or kernel_7.54)
-
Check SAP Web Dispatcher versionRun the sapwebdisp binary with -version or -v flag from the Web Dispatcher installation directory. On Windows, use sapwebdisp.exe -version.Affected if Web Dispatcher version is 7.22ext, 7.53, or 7.54 (shown as webdisp_7.22ext, webdisp_7.53, or webdisp_7.54)
-
Confirm vulnerability exposure conditionsReview SAP ICM and Web Dispatcher configuration files (icm.ini or icm.conf) and check whether the ICM is exposed to untrusted networks or the Web Dispatcher is handling external-facing routes without proper authentication constraints.Affected if ICM or Web Dispatcher is accessible from untrusted networks and system version matches affected list
The environment is affected if running SAP NetWeaver kernel versions 7.22, 7.53, or 7.54, or Web Dispatcher versions 7.22ext, 7.53, or 7.54, with ICM or Web Dispatcher exposed to network access.
