MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network access to a SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP system and a user account with high SAP privileges (confirmed by CVSS PR:H) sufficient to reach and execute the vulnerable internal code path where OS-level command injection is possible. The specific transaction, report, or function module entrypoint is not disclosed in available data. No non-default configuration is described as a prerequisite - the vulnerability resides in the standard ABAP runtime across the listed kernel versions. Exploitation is bounded by the high-privilege requirement: unauthenticated users and low-privilege end-user accounts cannot trigger the flaw. The impact is limited to OS-level writes and SAP service availability; no confidentiality breach is expected, limiting the incentive for data-theft-motivated attackers relative to sabotage or denial-of-service actors. |
| Impact | The CVSS base score of 5.5 is consistent with the PR:H prerequisite that substantially constrains exploitation to actors already holding high-privilege SAP credentials. The AV:N/AC:L combination means that once authenticated at the required privilege level, the exploit path is straightforward - no race conditions or complex preconditions apply. The high availability impact (A:H) is the dominant risk signal: a successful attack can halt all SAP work processes, causing immediate business disruption in environments where SAP underpins ERP, finance, or supply chain operations; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno running SAP for public administration should treat this as an urgent patching item despite the moderate composite score. No EPSS probability data was provided; the absence of a KEV listing and confirmed public POC suggests exploitation has not been broadly observed, but insider threats and post-compromise scenarios from compromised admin accounts remain realistic vectors. The SSVC framework signals: exploitation is plausible but not confirmed; the attack is not automatable without valid high-privilege credentials; technical impact is partial given the absence of confidentiality exposure. The integrity impact is rated low - OS writes are possible but the scope is not fully defined - which slightly tempers overall risk compared to a full confidentiality-integrity-availability trifecta. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or compromised a high-privilege SAP account - for example via credential theft, insider access, or lateral movement from another compromised system - connects to the SAP application server over the network and invokes the vulnerable internal ABAP code path, passing crafted input that bypasses the missing security control. The injected OS commands could terminate SAP work processes, causing a full system outage, or write attacker-controlled content to the server filesystem. No public proof-of-concept is known at time of analysis, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely, but targeted attacks by insiders or post-compromise actors remain plausible. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026
OS command injection in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform enables an attacker holding high-privilege credentials to bypass missing security controls on an internal ABAP code path and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. Affected releases span kernel versions 7.22 through 9.16, placing a broad range of production SAP landscapes at risk of service disruption or unauthorized OS-level writes. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV at time of analysis, though the high availability impact (A:H) makes it a meaningful patch priority for SAP Basis teams.
RemediationAI
Apply the fix detailed in SAP Security Note 3745182, available at https://me.sap.com/notes/3745182 via the SAP Support Portal; this note was released as part of SAP's regular Security Patch Day cycle, details of which are published at https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday. The exact corrected kernel patch level or Support Package number is not independently confirmed from the provided data and must be obtained directly from the note. As a compensating control pending patch deployment, restrict assignment of high-privilege profiles (such as SAP_ALL or any profile granting authorization to the relevant basis objects) strictly to essential accounts, removing access from service or batch accounts where not operationally required - note that over-restriction of basis authorizations can break administrative workflows and must be coordinated with SAP Basis teams. Additionally, enable and review SAP Security Audit Log (SM19/RSAU_CONFIG) for anomalous OS-command-class events, which can provide detection capability even if it does not prevent exploitation. Network-level controls limiting SAP system port exposure to trusted administrative networks reduce attack surface by preventing remote exploitation from non-privileged network segments.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is classified under CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in an OS Command - OS Command Injection), indicating that attacker-controlled input reaches an OS-level execution point without adequate sanitization or authorization enforcement. The affected component is the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP runtime and ABAP Platform, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:sap_se:sap_netweaver_application_server_abap_and_abap_platform:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The flaw exists on an internal code path within the ABAP kernel layer - the specific transaction, function module, or RFC interface is not disclosed in available data - where a security control designed to prevent OS interaction is absent or insufficiently enforced, allowing crafted ABAP-level input to pass through to OS-level execution. The wildcard CPE version field confirms the issue spans multiple kernel variants including KRNL64UC, KRNL64NUC, and standard KERNEL builds.

DescriptionCVE.org
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allow an attacker with high privileges to bypass missing security controls on an internal code path leading to operating system command execution. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute OS-level commands that write to the operating system or stop the SAP system, resulting in no impact on confidentiality, low impact on integrity, and high impact on availability.
