Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sap Netweaver Application Server Java. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8840/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w4vx-prc6-6vhh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver AS Java","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can bypass authorization checks in SAP NetWeaver AS Java to access sensitive data or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"netweaver_application_server_java","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The XML Data Archiving Service (XML DAS) in SAP NetWeaver AS Java does not check authorization, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information, gain privileges, or possibly have unspecified other impact via requests to (1) webcontent/cas/cas_enter.jsp, (2) webcontent/cas/cas_validate.jsp, or (3) webcontent/aas/aas_store.jsp, aka SAP Security Note 1945215.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sap:netweaver_application_server_java","products":["sap:netweaver_application_server_java"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8839"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2020-6287","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2010-5326","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-05-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2016-2386","kev_date_added":"2022-06-09","published":"2016-02-16"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2017-12637","kev_date_added":"2025-03-19","published":"2017-08-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2016-3976","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-04-07"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver XML External Entity (XXE)","id":"CVE-2016-9563","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-11-23"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-2388","kev_date_added":"2022-06-09","published":"2016-02-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can bypass authorization checks in SAP NetWeaver AS Java to access sensitive data or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8840/"}
