About Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap
CVE-2026-0488 affects Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap, a product from Sap. Before acting, confirm where Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: An authenticated attacker in SAP CRM and SAP S/4HANA (Scripting Editor) could exploit a flaw in a generic function module call and execute unauthorized critical functionalities, which includes the ability to execute an arbitrary SQL statement. This leads to a full database compromise with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The weakness class is Missing Authorization. The software does not check permissions before an action.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs some level of access, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

How to detect it
- Inventory every instance of Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap and record the running version against the affected range above.
- Check external attack surface scans for internet facing instances of the component.
- Review logs on affected systems for unusual requests, errors or new processes around the vulnerable function.
- Confirm with an authenticated vulnerability scan once your scanner has a check for this CVE.
How to fix it
- Apply the fixed version of Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap named in the vendor advisory.
- If patching must wait, restrict network access to the affected service and put it behind authentication or a web application firewall rule.
- Rescan after the change to prove the exposure is gone, then close the ticket.

Frequently asked questions
Related CVEs
Due to an uncontrolled resource consumption (Denial of Service) vulnerability, an authenticated attacker with regular user privileges and network access can repeatedly invoke a remote-enabled function module with an excessively large loop-control parameter. This triggers prolonged loop execution that consumes excessive system resources, potentially rendering the system unavailable. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition that impacts availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.
The SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform allows an authenticated attacker with high privileges to insert malicious URL within the application. Upon successful exploitation, the victim may click on this malicious URL, resulting in an unvalidated redirect to the attacker-controlled domain and subsequently download the malicious content. This vulnerability has a high impact on the confidentiality and integrity of the application, with no effect on the availability of the application.
Due to the usage of vulnerable third party component in SAP Wily Introscope Enterprise Manager (WorkStation), an unauthenticated attacker could create a malicious JNLP (Java Network Launch Protocol) file accessible by a public facing URL. When a victim clicks on the URL the accessed Wily Introscope Server could execute OS commands on the victim's machine. This could completely compromising confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system.
SAP S/4HANA (Private Cloud and On-Premise) allows an attacker with admin privileges to exploit a vulnerability in the function module exposed via RFC. This flaw enables the injection of arbitrary ABAP code/OS commands into the system, bypassing essential authorization checks. This vulnerability effectively functions as a backdoor, creating the risk of full system compromise, undermining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system.
In NFC, there is a possible way to spoof an NFC event due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
A validation issue existed in the entitlement verification. This issue was addressed with improved validation of the process entitlement. This issue is fixed in macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7. A malicious app may be able to break out of its sandbox.
