Unauthenticated blind SSRF in SAPGrmgClassicCollector

Impact On Business

An anonymous attacker with access to the P4 port of the Java instance of a Solution Manager, could force the Diagnostic Agent to perform arbitrary server side requests. As a consequence, internal infrastructure could be affected leveraging the network position.

Affected Components Description

Tested on following versions:

Java Kernel versions:

  • 7.50.3301.472568.20220902101413
  • 7.50.3301.467525.20210601093523
  • 7.50.3301.407179.20200416085516

SERVERCORE/CORE-TOOLS/J2EE-FRMW components versions:

  • 1000.7.50.24.7.20221009183400
  • 1000.7.50.22.0.20210804111800
  • 1000.7.50.2.0.20160125191600

SAP Solution Manager Diagnostic Agent version:

  • SMDAgent 7.20.11.5.20201030041628
  • SMDAgent 7.20.13.0.20210728040558

Vulnerability Details

The SAP SMD Collector Simulator service can be accessed through P4 without prior authentication. Using the collector SAPGrmgClassicCollector, an attacker can perform SSRF attacks via arbitrary header injection.

Even though the vulnerable service resides inside the Solution Manager, the final server side request is originated from the host where the Diagnostic Agent is running.

Solution

SAP has released SAP Note 3348145 which provides patched versions of the affected components.

The patches can be downloaded from https://me.sap.com/notes/3348145.

Onapsis strongly recommends SAP customers to download the related security fixes and apply them to the affected components in order to reduce business risks.
