Description

Due to missing authentication check in SAP Host Agent - version 7.22, an unauthenticated attacker can set an undocumented parameter to a particular compatibility value and in turn call read functions. This allows the attacker to gather some non-sensitive information about the server.  There is no impact on integrity or availability.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity none, availability none.
