AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 16, 2026

SAP NetWeaver allows an authenticated non-administrative user to call the remote-enabled function module which could grants access to non-sensitive information about the SAP system and OS without requiring any specific knowledge or controlled conditions. This leads to a low impact on confidentiality with no effect on integrity or availability of the application.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Implement proper access controls. Sanitize error messages in production. Review logging practices to avoid capturing sensitive data.
