CVE-2023-27267: missing authentication and insufficient input validation in the OSCommand Bridge of SAP Diagnostics Agent, version 720, can be exploited by an attacker to execute scripts on connected Diagnostics Agents. Successful exploitation can potentially lead to full compromise of the system.
CVE-2023-28765: An attacker with basic privileges in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Promotion Management) – versions 420, 430, can exploit the issue to access to lcmbiar file and further decrypt the file. Once the attacker gained access to BI user’s passwords and depending on the privileges of the BI user, he can perform operations that can completely compromise the application.
