CVE-2020-6244

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.8)—

SAP Business Client, version 7.0, allows an attacker after a successful social engineering attack to inject malicious code as a DLL file in untrusted directories that can be executed by the application, due to uncontrolled search path element. An attacker could thereby control the behavior of the application.

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).
