Technical details

This vulnerability involves a missing security control on an internal code path in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform that allows OS command execution. The attack requires high-level privileges, indicating the threat actor must already have elevated access to the system. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary OS-level commands, leading to high impact on availability (system shutdown) and low impact on integrity (file modification). The CVSS 5.5 (medium) score reflects the requirement for high privileges as a precondition. Patches are available via SAP Security Notes published on the regular SAP Security Patch Day schedule.
