SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Access Control (3554667)

high Nessus Plugin ID 234226

Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by an access control vulnerability.

Description

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by an access control vulnerability. In certain conditions, SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP allows an authenticated attacker to craft a Remote Function Call (RFC) request to restricted destinations, which can be used to expose credentials for a remote service. These credentials can then be further exploited to completely compromise the remote service, potentially resulting in a significant impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.

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.
