DescriptionCVE.org

An authenticated attacker in SAP CRM and SAP S/4HANA (Scripting Editor) could exploit a flaw in a generic function module call and execute unauthorized critical functionalities, which includes the ability to execute an arbitrary SQL statement. This leads to a full database compromise with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical authorization bypass vulnerability (CVSS 9.9) affects SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP up to version 7.00, potentially allowing unauthorized users to access or manipulate sensitive business data without proper credentials. Organizations running affected versions face immediate risk of data breach, fraudulent transactions, and regulatory compliance violations until remediation is completed.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules limiting access to affected systems; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules monitoring for authorization bypass patterns; enable comprehensive audit logging for all user actions on affected systems; enforce multi-factor authentication for all access to NetWeaver ABAP systems; disable unnecessary features and services on affected instances; conduct daily access reviews and anomaly detection; consider temporary read-only mode if operationally feasible; establish incident response procedures specific to unauthorized data access scenarios.
