Synopsis

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

Description

The version of SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and ABAP Platform detected on the remote host is affected by a missing authorization check vulnerability as referenced in the SAP Security Patch Day March 2026:

- Due to a missing authorization check in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP, an authenticated attacker with user privileges could read Database Analyzer Log Files via a specific RFC function module. The attacker with the necessary privileges to execute this function module could potentially escalate their privileges and read the sensitive data, resulting in a limited impact on the confidentiality of the information stored. However, the integrity and availability of the system are not affected. (CVE-2026-27688)
