What to do

  1. Apply SAP's Security Patch Day fixes for the four CVSS 10.0 flaws

The Brief

  • SAP fixed four flaws rated CVSS 10.0, the maximum score, as part of its monthly Security Patch Day.
  • The flaws can be exploited without logging in.
  • Three flaws are in the SAP NetWeaver application server; the fourth is in a product the source text does not name, and two of the four enable remote code execution.

Why it matters

Unauthenticated flaws rated at the maximum CVSS score, including remote code execution, can give attackers control of SAP systems if they are not patched.
