  • Target endpoint is /EemAdminService/EemAdmin — detect unauthenticated POST/SOAP requests to this URI on the SAP Solution Manager HTTP(S) port as a primary indicator of exploitation attempts.
  • Exploit payloads contain Java Runtime/ProcessBuilder RCE patterns in the SOAP request body — look for 'getruntime().exec' and 'processbuilder(' strings (case-insensitive) in HTTP POST bodies to /EemAdminService/EemAdmin.
  • Successful unauthenticated responses from a vulnerable SAP SolMan instance will contain ':getAllAgentInfoResponse' in the body and 'SAP NetWeaver Application Server' in the response header with HTTP 200 and Content-Type text/xml.
  • Commands on compromised SMDAgents execute as the 'daaadm' service account — look for unexpected OS-level process spawning under this user on SAP satellite systems.
  • The Metasploit module and PoC reference the EEM servlet component internally named 'tc~smd~agent~application~eem' — this string may appear in SAP application logs when the vulnerable component is accessed.
  • Active scanning for this vulnerability has been observed in the wild — monitor for high-frequency unauthenticated SOAP requests to /EemAdminService/EemAdmin from external IPs.
  • The exploit is stable against SMDAgents running Java version 1.8 — Java version fingerprinting of connected agents can help prioritize patching.
  • ·Exploitation impact extends beyond the SolMan host itself — all SMDAgents (satellite systems) connected to the Solution Manager are fully compromised upon successful exploitation.
