It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40623 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SAP_SE SAP BusinessObjects Suite (Installer). 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-2023-40623/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40623/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40623","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40623/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40623","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgv7-wrhw-7w24"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP BusinessObjects Installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can delete operating system files via directory junctions in the SAP BusinessObjects Suite installer, compromising system availability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"businessobjects","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1386","name":"Insecure Operation on Windows Junction / Mount Point"}],"description":"SAP BusinessObjects Suite Installer - version 420, 430, allows an attacker within the network to create a directory under temporary directory and link it to a directory with operating system files.
