SAP NetWeaver AS Java Improper Access Control (3268093)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 170023

Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver AS Java server may be affected by a Improper access control vulnerability.

Description

An unauthenticated attacker in SAP NetWeaver AS for Java - version 7.50, due to improper access control, can attach to an open interface and make use of an open naming and directory API to access services which can be used to perform unauthorized operations affecting users and data on the current system. This could allow the attacker to have full read access to user data, make modifications to user data, and make services within the system unavailable.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the vendor advisory.
