CVE-2026-0498
Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
Arbitrary Code Injection in SAP S/4HANA RFC Enables Full Compromise

Publication date: 2026-01-13

Last updated on: 2026-01-13

Assigner: SAP SE

Description
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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA (Private Cloud and On-Premise) allows an attacker who already has admin privileges to exploit a flaw in a function module exposed via RFC. The attacker can inject arbitrary ABAP code or operating system commands into the system, bypassing important authorization checks. Essentially, this acts like a backdoor, enabling the attacker to take full control of the system.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to a full system compromise, allowing an attacker to undermine the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the SAP S/4HANA system. This means sensitive data could be exposed or altered, system operations disrupted, and overall trust in the system's security severely damaged.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows an attacker with admin privileges to inject arbitrary code and bypass authorization checks, effectively creating a backdoor that risks full system compromise. Such a compromise undermines the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, which are core principles required by common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with these regulations due to potential unauthorized access and data breaches.
