Multiple Vulnerabilities in SAP Products Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SAP products, the most severe of which (CVE-2022-22536) could allow for remote code execution. SAP is a software company which creates software to manage business operations and customer relations. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code on the affected systems. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Applications configured to have fewer restrictions on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with elevated privileges.

There are currently no reports of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SAP products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. Details of these vulnerabilities are as follows:

• Request smuggling and request concatenation in SAP NetWeaver, SAP Content Server and SAP Web Dispatcher which could allow for remote code execution. (CVE-2022-22536)
• HTTP request smuggling vulnerability which could allow for remote code execution. (CVE-2022-22532)
• A memory leak in memory pipe management that could lead to denial of service. (CVE-2022-22533)
• SQL Injection vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP (Workplace Server). (CVE-2022-22540)
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver. (CVE-2022-22534)
• Missing Authorization check in SAP ERP HCM. (CVE-2022-22535)
• XSS vulnerability in SAP Business Objects Web Intelligence (BI Launchpad). (CVE-2022-22546)
• Improper Input Validation in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer. (CVE-2022-22537, CVE-2022-22539, CVE-2022-22538)
• Information Disclosure in SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise. (CVE-2022-22528)
• Information Disclosure vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA (Supplier Factsheet and Enterprise Search for Business Partner, Supplier and Customer). (CVE-2022-22542)
• Denial of service (DOS) in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP (Kernel) and ABAP Platform (Kernel). (CVE-2022-22543)

Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute code on the affected systems. Depending on the privileges associated with the application, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Applications configured to have fewer restrictions on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with elevated privileges.

We recommend the following actions be taken:

• Apply appropriate updates provided by SAP to vulnerable systems, immediately after appropriate testing.
• Consider using the following tool created by Onapsis to scan your systems to see if they are vulnerable to CVE-2022-22536.
• https://github.com/Onapsis/onapsis_icmad_scanner
• Run all software as a non-privileged user (one without administrative privileges) to diminish the effects of a successful attack.
• Remind users not to visit un-trusted websites or follow links provided by unknown or un-trusted sources.
• Inform and educate users regarding threats posed by hypertext links contained in emails or attachments, especially from un-trusted sources.
• Apply the Principle of Least Privilege to all systems and services.
