How severe is CVE-2020-6207?

CVE-2020-6207 has a CVSS score of 9.8/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which products are affected by CVE-2020-6207?

CVE-2020-6207 affects the following products: sap solution manager.

How do I patch CVE-2020-6207?

No patch has shipped for CVE-2020-6207 yet — track the sap solution manager advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.

How do I detect CVE-2020-6207 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every sap solution manager deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2020-6207 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2020-6207?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2020-6207 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2020-6207 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 7 known exploit references for CVE-2020-6207, including 6 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2020-6207?

CVE-2020-6207 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 98.3%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2020-6207?

CVE-2020-6207 is classified as Missing Authentication (CWE-306). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2020-6207?

CVE-2020-6207 affects sap solution manager (1 version, e.g. 7.20). Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2020-6207?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2020-6207, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2020-6207 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2020-6207 was published on March 10, 2020 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA’s SSVC triage classifies this CVE as under active exploitation.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
