CVE-2021-21466 Code Injection in SAP Business Warehouse and SAP BW/4HANA, SAP security note 2999854

Description

UPDATE 27th April 2021 : This note has been re-released with the updated ‘Support Packages & Patches’ information. The validity of the correction instruction extended to BW 7.40 SP3 and SP4

SAP Business Warehouse and SAP BW/4HANA allow a low privileged attacker to inject code using a remote enabled function module over the network. Due to a lack of input validation, an attacker, who was granted access (S_RFC) to execute the function module can inject malicious ABAP code, which will be saved persistently in a report in the ABAP repository.

This report can then be executed leading to Code injection vulnerability which can cause sensitive data loss, modification of critical data and even denial of service.
