SAP S/4HANA Security Circus: ABAP Code Execution Vulnerability Unleashed!
The vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver S/4HANA allows users to execute arbitrary code, thanks to a function module called WRITE_AND_CALL_DBPROG. While SAP doesn’t classify it as a threat, it’s like leaving the keys to the kingdom in the wrong hands. Time to double-check who’s on your guest list!

Hot Take:
Picture this: your SAP system is a fortress, but surprise! There’s a secret tunnel (or, in this case, a function module) that lets the invaders waltz right in. SAP says it’s not a problem; nullFaktor says it definitely is. It’s like telling a homeowner, “Sure, the door’s unlocked, but who would ever want to come in?”
Key Points:
- The WRITE_AND_CALL_DBPROG module in SAP S/4HANA allows arbitrary code execution.
- SAP doesn’t consider this a security vulnerability due to required authorizations.
- NullFaktor argues that misconfigurations make this a significant risk.
- There’s no patch, so reviewing user authorizations is crucial.
- Exploiting this can lead to full system compromise and bypass multiple security controls.
