| Impact | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) indicates network-accessible attack surface with low complexity and low privilege requirements-an authenticated user can trigger the vulnerability with no user interaction. The high confidentiality impact reflects potential exposure of sensitive business intelligence or content management data. The exclusive confidentiality impact (no integrity/availability risk) moderates overall severity compared to a remote code execution scenario. However, the attack vector being network-accessible and requiring only standard authentication credentials (not administrator/privileged roles) increases real-world risk: any employee or authorized system account could exploit this. SSVC considerations: exploitation is straightforward for any authenticated user with network access; the technical impact is confidentiality loss affecting data confidentiality mission. SAP's patch release indicates vendor awareness and confirmed exploitability. The CVSS 6.5 score aligns with the risk profile-significant but not critical, yet meriting prompt remediation given the ease of exploitation by low-privilege users. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An employee with standard business user credentials (low privilege SAP account) authenticates to SAP Business Analytics via standard login. Rather than accessing only their assigned dashboards and reports, they craft an RFC call (directly or via a tool like SAP GUI or RFC-enabled application) targeting a sensitive remote function module such as one providing access to executive financial reports or confidential content metadata outside their role scope. The missing authorization check permits the call to execute, returning restricted data that should have been blocked by role-based permissions. The attacker retrieves and exfiltrates sensitive business intelligence or content information without triggering alerts tied to authorization violations. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 14, 2026
Missing authorization checks in SAP Business Analytics and SAP Content Management allow authenticated users to invoke unauthorized remote function module calls, enabling confidential data access beyond their assigned permissions. The vulnerability affects all versions of the product and carries a CVSS score of 6.5 with confirmed high confidentiality impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
SAP has released security patches addressing the missing authorization check. Organizations must apply the vendor-released patch via SAP Security Patch Day updates; exact patched versions should be obtained from SAP Security Patch Day (https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday) and SAP Note 3705094 (https://me.sap.com/notes/3705094). As interim mitigation pending patch deployment, restrict network access to remote function module endpoints via firewall or VPN controls, implement additional application-level authorization logging to detect unauthorized RFC calls, and audit user permissions for sensitive function modules to identify overprivileged accounts. Review RFC destination configurations and user role assignments to ensure least-privilege access control aligns with business requirements.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability stems from inadequate authorization validation (CWE-862: Missing Authorization) in SAP's remote function call (RFC) handling mechanisms. SAP Business Analytics and SAP Content Management utilize RFC interfaces to enable inter-system communication and modular function invocation. The missing authorization check fails to properly validate whether an authenticated user possesses sufficient privileges to execute specific remote function modules before processing the request. While authentication is performed (confirming user identity), the subsequent authorization layer (verifying user permissions against callable modules) is absent or improperly enforced. This allows an authenticated attacker to escalate their functional access without elevated credentials, potentially reading sensitive business data, analytics metadata, or content repository information that should be restricted by role-based access control.
