| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C) indicates network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation requiring no privileges but mandatory user interaction (clicking a malicious link). The 6.1 score reflects low confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact, typical of open redirect flaws. While EPSS exploitation probability data was not provided, open redirects are frequently exploited in real-world phishing campaigns but typically require social engineering to succeed. The risk is amplified in SAP environments because: (1) SAP applications handle sensitive financial and operational data, (2) legitimate SAP URLs are trusted by users, making phishing more effective, and (3) attackers can use crafted URLs to capture NetWeaver credentials. However, this is not a remote code execution or direct authentication bypass-it requires active victim participation and is primarily a trust/confidence attack rather than a technical control escape. Real-world priority should be moderate to moderately-high depending on user population exposure and internal phishing awareness levels. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL like 'https://legitimate-sap-server.company.com/path?redirect=https://evil.attacker.com/fake-login' and includes it in a phishing email claiming to be from the company's SAP administrator. When a user clicks the link, they see the legitimate SAP domain in the address bar initially, gaining trust, then are silently redirected to the attacker's fake login page which captures their NetWeaver credentials. The attacker then uses the stolen credentials to access the actual SAP system. No public exploit code is required-simple URL crafting and HTML email are sufficient. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 14, 2026
Open redirect in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP allows unauthenticated attackers to craft malicious URLs that redirect victims to attacker-controlled pages, potentially enabling phishing or credential theft attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions of SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and requires user interaction (URL click). CVSS score of 6.1 reflects moderate risk with low confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the security patch provided by SAP Security Patch Day (referenced at https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday) and review SAP Note 3692004 (https://me.sap.com/notes/3692004) for detailed remediation instructions and affected version-specific patch levels. Interim mitigations include: implementing URL validation on the server side to whitelist approved redirect destinations, configuring web application firewalls to block suspicious redirect patterns, and conducting user security awareness training to recognize phishing attempts using malicious SAP URLs. Validate that redirect functionality only permits redirects to trusted internal SAP systems and approved partner sites.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Open redirect vulnerabilities (CWE-601) occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to determine redirect destinations without proper validation. SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP is a core enterprise application platform that handles business logic and data processing across SAP landscapes. The vulnerability exists because the application fails to validate or whitelist redirect URLs before performing HTTP redirects, allowing an attacker to craft a legitimate-looking SAP URL that redirects to external attacker-controlled content. This is a client-side trust violation rather than a direct server compromise, but it creates a vector for credential harvesting and session hijacking when combined with phishing tactics.
