Description

Symptom

BW has an RFC without further authority checks, which contains a vulnerability that allows a malicious user to potentially write arbitrary files on the remote server, possibly corrupting data or altering system behavior.

Solution

  • The corresponding code is not actively used and has been removed.
  • Apply the corresponding note or Support Package.

Reason and prerequisites

The RFC fails to correctly validate the path where a user-submitted file is written. This allows an attacker to potentially overwrite data on the remote system.

Affected components

  • SAP_BW: Versions 30B, 310, 350, 700 to 702, 711
  • SAP_BW_VIRTUAL_COMP: Version 30B
