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 · unedited
Due to directory traversal vulnerability, an authorized attacker could gain access to some critical information by using RFC enabled function module. Upon successful exploitation, they could read files from any managed system connected to SAP Solution Manager, leading to high impact on confidentiality. There is no impact on integrity or availability.

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

A directory traversal vulnerability in SAP Solution Manager allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from any managed system connected to the Solution Manager via RFC-enabled function modules, resulting in high confidentiality impact.

MitigationApply SAP security patches for CVE-2025-27428 and review/restrict RFC-enabled function module access to prevent unauthorized file system traversal.

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 Solution Manager installation
    Check for SAP Solution Manager processes or web interfaces. Look for SMDA (Solution Manager Diagnostic Agent) processes, or access the Solution Manager web portal (typically ports 50000-50010 or custom ports). Use transaction SM_WORKCENTER or check system information via SAP GUI.
    Affected if SAP Solution Manager is installed and running in the environment
  2. Determine Solution Manager version
    In SAP GUI, use transaction SM37 to view system version info, or use SAP MII version check. Query the SAP system table VERSION or check the SAP note 2408073 for version details. Compare your installed version against SAP security notes addressing CVE-2025-27428.
    Affected if The installed version matches the vulnerable version range for CVE-2025-27428 (consult SAP security notes for specific version numbers)
  3. Verify RFC-enabled function modules are accessible
    Use transaction SM59 to view RFC destinations. Check if RFC function modules related to file operations (such as EPS_GET_FILE_LIST, or file transfer functions) are exposed. Use transaction SE37 to inspect function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_RFC.
    Affected if RFC function modules capable of file system access are enabled and accessible to the attacker
  4. Check RFC authorization settings
    Use transaction SUIM to check RFC authorizations for user roles. Examine if users have RFC access to function modules that allow file operations. Review roles with S_RFC authorization object.
    Affected if Users (especially low-privilege or external users) have RFC authorization to vulnerable function modules without proper restrictions
  5. Confirm directory traversal attack surface
    Test if function module parameters accept path traversal sequences (.. or absolute paths). Use transaction SE37 to invoke suspected function modules with paths like ../../etc/passwd or absolute file paths to confirm vulnerability.
    Affected if RFC-enabled function modules accept and process path traversal sequences without proper validation

The environment is affected if SAP Solution Manager is running with vulnerable RFC-enabled function modules that allow unauthenticated or low-privilege users to perform file system operations via path traversal.
