Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allows an authenticated attacker with normal privileges to obtain a valid signed message and send modified signed XML documents to the verifier. This may result in acceptance of tampered identity information leading to unauthorized access to sensitive user data and potential disruption of normal system usage. This causes a high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability of the application.

AnalysisAI
Signed XML message tampering in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allows authenticated low-privileged attackers to forge identity information by capturing a valid signed message and submitting modified signed XML documents that the verifier accepts. The scope-changing flaw (CVSS 9.9) enables unauthorized access to sensitive user data and disruption of normal operations across trust boundaries. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP is the foundational application runtime that hosts SAP business suite components (ECC, S/4HANA, Solution Manager, etc.) and processes signed XML messages as part of SAML/WS-Security/SSO and inter-system trust flows. The root cause is CWE-347 (Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature): the verifier appears to validate the signature against the original signed payload while accepting modifications elsewhere in the XML document - a class of flaw historically seen as XML Signature Wrapping (XSW) attacks where attackers wrap or relocate signed elements so the signature reference still resolves to the original content while the verifier consumes attacker-controlled content. The 'JWT Attack' tag suggests the same signature-verification weakness may also apply to token-based identity assertions handled by the ABAP stack.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch referenced by SAP Security Note 3746332 (https://me.sap.com/notes/3746332) according to your installed NetWeaver AS ABAP / ABAP Platform release and Support Package stack - exact fixed SP/kernel levels are listed inside the customer-authenticated note and were not provided in the public record. Customers should also review the SAP Security Patch Day bulletin at https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday for any companion notes that must be applied together. Until patching is possible, compensating controls include tightening account provisioning to remove unused low-privileged ABAP accounts, restricting network reachability of the ABAP stack to trusted segments via SAP Web Dispatcher or perimeter firewalls, auditing SAML/SSO and trust-relationship configurations for unexpected identity providers, and enabling Security Audit Log (SM19/RSAU_CONFIG) with alerting on identity-assertion anomalies - noting that none of these controls block the flaw itself, only reduce exposure and improve detection.
