SAP Security Patch Day – May 2023

SAP released 27 new and updated security patches on May 9, 2023. This includes three HotNews Notes and nine High Priority Notes.

The HotNews Notes address vulnerabilities in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise License Manager and SAP BusinessObjects. The most critical vulnerability in SAP BusinessObjects allows an authenticated attacker with administrator privileges to get the login token of any logged-in BI user or server over the network without any user interaction. The attacker can then impersonate any user on the platform, access and modify data, or make the system partially or entirely unavailable.

The High Priority Notes address vulnerabilities in SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA, SAP IBP add-in for Microsoft Excel, SAP GUI for Windows, SAP Commerce, and SAP PowerDesigner. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to systems, data, or functionality, or to disrupt or disable systems.

SAP customers are advised to apply the patches as soon as possible. The patches are available from the SAP Security Patch Tuesday website.
