CVE-2024-33005 | Missing Authorization check in SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP and Java),SAP Web Dispatcher and SAP Content Server

Due to the missing authorization checks in the local systems, the admin users of SAP Web Dispatcher, SAP NetWeaver Application Server (ABAP and Java), and SAP Content Server can impersonate other users and may perform some unintended actions. This could lead to a low impact on confidentiality and a high impact on the integrity and availability of the applications.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
6.3 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:H)
They need powerful rights—admin, root, or similar—before this pays off.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
