SAP Solution Manager Vulnerability Hits With A Full-Featured Exploit Published Online

SAP Solution Manager is an enterprise software developed by the software company SAP SE (where SAP stands for Systems, Applications, and Products for data processing), to which a full-featured exploit has been published publicly online, notified by cybersecurity researchers.

The exploit that is publicly available utilizes a vulnerability that has been registered as CVE-2020-6207 and is an absent check for authentication in the SAP Solution Manager’s variant 7.2 also called as the SolMan. SAP SolMan is an application arrangement and administration that offers start to finish application lifecycle management in widespread conditions, going about as a concentrated center for implementing and keeping up SAP frameworks, for example, ERP, CRM, HCM, SCM, BI, and others.

The severe defect which lived in SolMan’s User Experience Monitoring (previously End-client Experience Monitoring or EEM) part, accordingly putting each business framework associated with the Solution Manager in danger of a likely trade-off.
