Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-42473 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-42473 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in SAP_SE S/4HANA (Manage Withholding Tax Items), published on 10 Oct 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-42473 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SAP_SE S/4HANA (Manage Withholding Tax Items). 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-2023-42473/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42473/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42473","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42473/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42473","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j972-ff67-2v59"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP S/4HANA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can bypass authorization checks in SAP S/4HANA Manage Withholding Tax Items, leading to privilege escalation and potential data modification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"s\\/4hana","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"S/4HANA Manage (Withholding Tax Items) - version 106, does not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges which has low impact on the confidentiality and integrity of the application.","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 Check In S/4HANA (Manage Withholding Tax Items)","id":"CVE-2023-42473","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence","id":"CVE-2023-42474"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Web Intelligence HTML interface)","id":"CVE-2023-42472"},"products":["S/4HANA (Manage Withholding Tax Items)"],"published":"2023-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"File upload in SAP S/4HANA","id":"CVE-2022-22530","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-14"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"File upload in SAP S/4HANA","id":"CVE-2022-22531","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-14"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in S/4 HANA (Map Treasury Correspondence Format Data)","id":"CVE-2023-24524","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-14"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in SAP S/4HANA (Supplier Factsheet and Enterprise Search for Business Partner, Supplier and Customer)","id":"CVE-2022-22542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"URL Redirection vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA (Manage Catalog Items and Cross-Catalog search)","id":"CVE-2023-40306","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-08"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Missing authorization in SAP S/4HANA","id":"CVE-2022-31597","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-12"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-27","vendors":["SAP_SE"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can bypass authorization checks in SAP S/4HANA Manage Withholding Tax Items, leading to privilege escalation and potential data modification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42473/"}
