- SAP NetWeaver AS Java (HTTP Service), versions 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, 7.50, allows an attacker with administrator privileges to access user sensitive data such as passwords in trace files, when the user logs in and sends request with login credentials, leading to Information Disclosure.
(CVE-2020-6224)

- SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA, versions - 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, 7.50, allows an attacker who is authenticated as an administrator to use the administrator console, to expose unauthenticated access to the file system and upload a malicious file. The attacker or another user can then use a separate mechanism to execute OS commands through the uploaded file leading to Privilege Escalation and completely compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the server operating system and any application running on it. (CVE-2020-26820)

This highly Confidentiality as information disclosed could contain client credentials of adjacent systems. CVE-2020-26816)

- SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP, versions 740, 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, allows an unauthenticated attacker to prevent legitimate users from accessing a service, either by crashing or flooding the service, this has a high impact on the availability of the service. (CVE-2021-21446)
