[ESNC-2013-004] Remote ABAP Code Injection in OpenText/IXOS ECM for SAP NetWeaver Please refer to http://www.esnc.de for the original security advisory, updates and additional information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Business Impact ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This vulnerability allows injection of ABAP code to the remote SAP system. In SAP security, this is the equivalent of getting an ultra-reliable ring 0 exploit which works through the network and never crashes. By exploiting this vulnerability an attacker can e.g. inject code which saves the passwords of all connecting SAP GUI users in a remote file, steal or change sensitive data such as HR salary information, execute bank transactions and transfer money, or simply plant an SAP backdoor for accessing the system later. The attacker can also manipulate or corrupt ABAP programs shipped by SAP and make the system inoperable. Risk Level: High ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.
