Vulnerability assessment for CVE-2022-22536

This repository contains a Python script that can be used to check if a SAP system is affected by CVE-2022-22536, a critical vulnerability rated with CVSSv3 Score of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). This vulnerability was discovered by the Onapsis Research Labs, which closely collaborated with SAP to develop and release a patch on February 8, 2022. Onapsis would like to thank the SAP Product Security Response Team (PSRT) for their collaboration and timely response. The two teams worked tirelessly to ensure that a timely fix was available to all SAP customers as soon as possible.

Considering the number of potential vulnerable internet-facing SAP systems and the sensitivity of the data and processes typically supported by these systems, Onapsis decided to develop and release this open-source tool as quickly as possible. The goal is to help the information security and administration teams at all SAP customers protect their mission-critical applications by enabling them to assess their exposure and evaluate whether their SAP are affected by this vulnerability. This tool can:

• Perform a best-effort, black-box scan of your SAP application(s) to quickly assess if they may be vulnerable to CVE-2022-22536.

This tool cannot:

• Guarantee with 100% accuracy whether your SAP applications are vulnerable or not.

There are, however, several known limitations of this tool and its usage should not be considered a guarantee that SAP applications are not affected by CVE-2022-22536. Several conditions can affect the state of the assessed applications, resulting in false positives and/or false negatives.
