CVE-2026-44764 in Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence
Summary
by MITRE • 08/11/2026
Due to a Missing Authorization Check vulnerability in SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence, an unauthenticated attacker could send crafted requests to the Cost Servlet using specific parameter values. If processed by the application, these requests enable access to backend operations. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to read, create, modify, or delete application-managed business data, resulting in a limited impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

The vulnerability under examination represents a critical authorization flaw within SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence that exposes sensitive backend operations to unauthenticated attackers. This weakness manifests through the Cost Servlet component which fails to properly validate incoming requests, allowing malicious actors to craft specific parameter values that bypass normal access controls. The absence of proper authorization checks creates an attack surface where unauthorized users can directly interact with application-managed business data without requiring legitimate credentials or privileges.
This missing authorization check vulnerability aligns with CWE-863, which specifically addresses "Incorrect Authorization" conditions where the system fails to properly enforce access controls for resources or operations. The technical implementation flaw occurs at the servlet level where parameter validation is insufficiently enforced, enabling attackers to manipulate request parameters to gain unauthorized access to backend functionality. The vulnerability exists in the application's security architecture rather than being a simple configuration issue, making it particularly dangerous as it undermines fundamental access control mechanisms.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple data exposure, potentially enabling complete data manipulation capabilities including read, create, modify, and delete operations on business-critical information. Attackers can exploit this weakness to compromise the confidentiality of sensitive manufacturing data, alter production costs and resource allocations, or disrupt availability through destructive operations against critical business processes. The limited impact designation should not be misconstrued as minimal risk since manufacturing intelligence systems often contain proprietary process information, cost structures, and operational data that directly affects competitive positioning and financial outcomes.
Organizations affected by this vulnerability should implement immediate mitigations including enforcing proper input validation at the servlet level, implementing robust authentication requirements for all backend operations, and conducting comprehensive access control reviews. Network segmentation and application firewalls should be configured to restrict access to the Cost Servlet to only authorized administrative networks and users. The ATT&CK framework's T1078 privilege escalation techniques are particularly relevant here as attackers can leverage this vulnerability to move laterally within systems and escalate their privileges through unauthorized data manipulation. Regular security assessments and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar authorization gaps across the SAP ecosystem, while patch management processes must be prioritized to address vendor-provided security updates promptly.
