CVE-2024-47578

9.1 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Adobe Document Service that allows authenticated administrators to send crafted requests from vulnerable web applications. Attackers can exploit this to access internal systems behind firewalls that are normally inaccessible from external networks. Successful exploitation enables reading or modifying files and potentially making entire systems unavailable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Adobe Document Service
Versions: Specific versions not provided in references; check SAP Note 3536965 for details
Operating Systems: Not OS-specific; affects the application service
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires administrator privileges to exploit; affects systems with Adobe Document Service deployed in web applications

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise allowing attackers to read sensitive files, modify system configurations, and cause denial of service across the entire infrastructure.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to internal systems and services behind firewalls, potentially leading to data exfiltration and lateral movement within the network.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper network segmentation, strict firewall rules, and least privilege access controls in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: MEDIUM
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires administrator access; SSRF vulnerabilities are commonly exploited once discovered

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check SAP Security Patch Day updates and SAP Note 3536965

Vendor Advisory: https://me.sap.com/notes/3536965

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Review SAP Note 3536965 for specific patch details. 2. Apply the security patch from SAP Security Patch Day. 3. Restart affected services. 4. Verify the patch was successfully applied.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Implement strict network segmentation to limit Adobe Document Service access to only necessary internal resources

Privilege Reduction

all

Review and reduce administrator privileges to minimum required levels

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict outbound firewall rules to block unnecessary network connections from Adobe Document Service
  • Deploy web application firewalls (WAF) with SSRF protection rules and monitor for suspicious requests

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if Adobe Document Service is installed and review version against SAP Note 3536965

Check Version:

Check SAP system documentation or administration console for Adobe Document Service version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify patch application through SAP system logs and confirm version update

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound requests from Adobe Document Service
  • Administrator account performing unexpected network operations
  • Requests to internal systems from web application servers

Network Indicators:

  • Unexpected network traffic from Adobe Document Service to internal systems
  • SSRF patterns in HTTP requests

SIEM Query:

source="adobe-document-service" AND (dest_ip IN internal_subnets OR uri CONTAINS "internal" OR uri CONTAINS "localhost")
