SAP SolMan Critical vulnerability detected and attackers have begun probing for vulnerable SAP systems.

Automated probes for servers containing a severe vulnerability in SAP software have been detected a week after a working exploit was published online. 

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2020-6207, is a bug in SAP Solution Manager (SolMan), version 7.2. 

The vulnerability has been awarded a CVSS base score of 10.0 -- the highest severity rating available -- and is caused by a missing authentication check.

SolMan's End user Experience Monitoring (EEM) function contained the authentication issue. EEM can be used to deploy scripts in other systems, and as a result, compromising EEM can lead to the hijack of "every system" connected to SolMan via remote code execution (RCE) 

SAP issued a patch for CVE-2020-6207 in March 2020 (SAP Security Note #2890213). However, for any servers left unpatched, there is now a heightened risk of compromise with the public release of a working Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit code.

Last week, Dmitry Chastuhin released a PoC for CVE-2020-6207 as a project for educational purposes. The security researcher said the script "check[s] and exploit[s] missing authentication checks in SAP EEM servlet."

 If enterprise IT staff have applied the patch, there is no need for concern. However, if the security fix is yet to be implemented and SolMan setups are exposed online, the creation of automated exploit tools should spur admins on to resolve the security flaw as quickly as possible.

Understanding Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to encrypt or block access to a victim's files or entire computer system. The attackers demand a ransom payment, typically in cryptocurrencies, in exchange for providing the decryption key or restoring access. This insidious form of cyberattack has evolved over the years, becoming more sophisticated and causing significant disruption.   The impact of ransomware attacks can be devastating on multiple levels. For individuals, it can result in the loss of personal data, compromising sensitive information like financial records or personal documents. In businesses, ransomware can disrupt operations, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and potential legal implications. Critical infrastructure, such as healthcare or government systems, can also become targets, risking public safety and national security.

Different types of cyber attacks

Malware attacks: Malware attacks involve the use of malicious software, such as viruses, worms, or ransomware, to damage or disrupt systems or steal sensitive data. Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks involve the use of fake emails or websites to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial data. Denial of service (DoS) attacks: DoS attacks involve flooding a network or website with traffic in an attempt to make it unavailable to users. SQL injection attacks: SQL injection attacks involve injecting malicious code into a database through a website or application in order to gain unauthorized access or steal sensitive data. Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks: MitM attacks involve intercepting communications between two parties in order to gain access to sensitive information or to alter the content of the communication. Insider attacks: Insider attacks involve the use of an individual's authorized access to systems or data to compromise the secu...
