Status: ModifiedHigh (7.2)—

An attacker can use specially crafted inputs to execute commands on the host of a TREX / BWA installation, SAP Basis, versions: 7.0 to 7.02, 7.10 to 7.11, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40 and 7.50 to 7.53. Not all commands are possible, only those that can be executed by the <sid>adm user. The commands executed depend upon the privileges of the <sid>adm user.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
