AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Denial-of-service vulnerability in SAP Advanced Planning And Optimization and Supply Chain Management allows authenticated users to exhaust system resources by repeatedly calling a remote function module with oversized parameters, causing service unavailability. An attacker with standard user credentials and network access can trigger prolonged resource consumption that may render the affected system unresponsive. No patch is currently available.

DescriptionCVE.org

Due to an uncontrolled resource consumption (Denial of Service) vulnerability, an authenticated attacker with regular user privileges and network access can repeatedly invoke a remote-enabled function module with an excessively large loop-control parameter. This triggers prolonged loop execution that consumes excessive system resources, potentially rendering the system unavailable. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition that impacts availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

An authenticated user can exploit a denial-of-service vulnerability in a remote-enabled function to consume excessive system resources and disrupt service availability. This requires valid credentials but poses a significant operational risk to dependent business systems until a patch becomes available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement rate limiting and request throttling via WAF or network appliances targeting the vulnerable function; restrict network access to the affected module through firewall rules limiting source IPs; disable the remote-enabled function if not business-critical; apply input validation rules to reject excessively large loop-control parameters; increase system monitoring and alerting for DoS patterns; segment network access using zero-trust principles to limit authenticated user scope.
