Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the attacker already holds a high-privilege account within the SAP system (PR:H per CVSS vector). The specific internal authorization check bypassed is tied to the Model Mix Planning module of SAP APO, so the target system must have this module installed and active. The hardcoded credential is used within the application's own source code to authorize access to restricted functionalities - an attacker must identify the credential value and the invocation mechanism, which is not publicly documented at time of analysis. Limiting factors: the high-privilege prerequisite dramatically narrows the attacker population; exploitation is further constrained to environments where the SAP APO Model Mix Planning module is deployed and active. No special network positioning beyond standard SAP application access is required once privileges are obtained, as the CVSS AV:N vector indicates the interface is reachable over the network.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.8 (Low) is driven primarily by PR:H - exploitation requires an attacker who already holds high-privilege credentials within the SAP environment. This substantially limits the realistic threat population to insider threats, compromised privileged accounts, or attackers who have already achieved significant access. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) is internally consistent: network accessibility is plausible for SAP Fiori or RFC-based interfaces, but without prior high-privilege access the hardcoded credential cannot be leveraged. No EPSS data was supplied; absent KEV listing and public exploit code, opportunistic mass exploitation is unlikely. The primary residual risk is an insider or a partially compromised privileged account using the hardcoded credential to escalate from restricted to unrestricted deletion of planning constraints, potentially disrupting production planning processes without leaving an obvious audit trail tied to the bypassed authorization path. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are both assessed as Low, and availability is unaffected. This is a real finding with legitimate audit implications, but it is not an emergency-priority vulnerability for most organizations.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with high-privilege SAP credentials - for example, a malicious insider or a threat actor who has compromised an SAP Basis administrator account - invokes the affected Model Mix Planning functionality using the hardcoded internal credential to bypass the application's normal authorization check. This allows the attacker to delete planning-related restrictions that would otherwise be protected, potentially corrupting production schedules or removing capacity constraints without detection through standard authorization audit trails. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, so exploitation currently requires knowledge of the hardcoded credential value and the specific invocation path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026

Hardcoded credentials embedded in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (Model Mix Planning) source code enable authenticated high-privilege attackers to bypass the application's authorization layer and delete specific planning-related restrictions. Confirmed by SAP via Security Note 3763028 and disclosed on SAP Security Patch Day, the flaw spans a wide range of APO versions including SCM 700, S4CORE, and S4COREOP release lines. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; real-world impact is constrained by the high-privilege prerequisite and limited to low-severity confidentiality and integrity effects.

RemediationAI

Apply the correction documented in SAP Security Note 3763028, accessible via the SAP Support Portal at https://me.sap.com/notes/3763028 (requires SAP customer credentials). SAP Security Patch Day announcements at https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday should be monitored for updated guidance. No explicit patched version number was provided in the available intelligence; organizations should confirm the remediated release with SAP support before deploying. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict access to SAP APO Model Mix Planning functionality to only those accounts with a documented business need using SAP role-based access control, and audit existing high-privilege accounts in the APO environment for anomalous authorization changes. Review SAP system logs for unexpected deletion of planning restrictions, which would be the observable artifact of exploitation. Note that restricting network-level access is insufficient as an isolation measure since the attack requires pre-existing high privileges - access control hardening must be at the SAP application layer.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) is an enterprise supply chain planning suite used predominantly in large manufacturing and logistics environments. The Model Mix Planning submodule handles production mix constraints and planning restrictions. CWE-798 (Use of Hard-coded Credentials) identifies the root cause: a credential baked into application source code to gatekeep access to specific internal functionality - a pattern that defeats the purpose of access control because the secret cannot be rotated without a code change. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:sap_se:sap_advanced_planning_and_optimization_(model_mix_planning) spans legacy SCM 700, intermediate 700-series releases (701, 702, 712, 713, 714), numbered builds (103-109), and S/4HANA core releases (S4CORE 102, S4COREOP 104), indicating the credential has persisted across multiple major development branches over many years.

DescriptionCVE.org

SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (Model Mix Planning) contains a hardcoded credential within the source code of the application to perform authorization check to access certain functionalities in the application. An attacker with high privileges could leverage this hardcoded credential to bypass authorization and delete specific planning-related restrictions in the application. Successful exploitation could result in a low impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability of the application.
