Due to a Deserialization vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver (JMS service), an attacker authenticated as an administrator with local access could submit specially crafted content to the server. If processed by the application, this content could trigger unintended behavior during internal logic execution, potentially causing a denial of service. Successful exploitation results in a high impact on availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netweaver | Sap | 7.50 (including) | 7.50 (including) |
Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
