CVE-2023-0012 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.7/10 on the CVSS scale. In SAP Host Agent (Windows) - versions 7.21, 7.22, an attacker who gains local membership to SAP_LocalAdmin could be able to replace executables with a malicious file that will be started under a privileged account. Note that by default all user members of SAP_LocaAdmin are denied the ability to logon locally by security policy so that this can only occur if the system has already been compromised.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
