The most severe of these vulnerabilities is a critical issue, tracked as CVE-2024-47578 (CVSS score of 9.1), in the Adobe Document Service component of NetWeaver. An attacker with administrative privileges can exploit the vulnerability to send a crafted request from a vulnerable web application. Successful exploitation can allow attackers to read or modify any file and/or make the entire system unavailable.
The vulnerability impacts versions ADSSSAP 7.50.
“Adobe Document Service allows an attacker with administrator privileges to send a crafted request from a vulnerable web application. It is usually used to target internal systems behind firewalls that are normally inaccessible to an attacker from the external network, resulting in a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability.” reads the advisory. “On successful exploitation, the attacker can read or modify any file and/or make the entire system unavailable.”
The company also addressed other two vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2024-47579 and CVE-2024-47580, as part of the same security notes that was labeled as ‘hot news’.
