SAP NetWeaver AS Java Improper Access Control (May 2023)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 175397

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver application server is affected by improper access control vulnerability.

Description

SAP NetWeaver Application Server for Java is affected by improper access control vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can attach to an open interface and make use of an open naming and directory API to instantiate an object which has methods which can be called without further authorization and authentication. A subsequent call to one of these methods can read or change the state of existing services without any effect on availability.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the vendor advisory.
