Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by a missing authorization check vulnerability.

Description

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by a missing authorization check vulnerability. RFC inbound processing does not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges.
