SAP Note 2985866 was released on 10.11.2020 and deals with "[Multiple CVE IDs] Missing Authentication Check in SAP Solution Manager (JAVA stack)" within Java. We advice you to follow the instructions, to resolve missing authorization check with a hot news potential for exploitation in component SV-SMG-MON-EEM.

According to SAP Security Advisory team a workaround does not exist. It is advisable to implement the correction as part of maintenance.

Missing authority checks are still the most common security defect related to authorizations in custom code. Since SAP uses an explicit authorization model, an authority checks must be coded in order to be executed. If an explicit check is not coded, all users have access. This type of vulnerability not only exists in SAP standard it also exists in customer coding. Check your custom developments for vulnerabilities that pose a risk to your systems. SecurityBridge helps detect code vulnerabilities before they are implemented in production.
