Security News > 2021 > July > SAP Patches High-Risk Vulnerabilities in NetWeaver
German software maker SAP has released 12 new security notes as part of its July 2021 security patch day, as well as updates for three previously released security notes.
The most important of the new security notes deal with two high-severity vulnerabilities in NetWeaver.
The first flaw affects SAP NetWeaver Guided Procedures, a component of the Composite Application Framework that provides role-based access to multiple backend systems.
The second vulnerability affects SAP NetWeaver AS for Java and exists because HTTP requests are not properly validated when monitoring data is stored.
SAP also released nine new security notes dealing with medium severity vulnerabilities in CRM ABAP, NetWeaver AS ABAP and ABAP Platform, Lumira Server, Web Dispatcher and Internet Communication Manager, NetWeaver AS for Java, Business Objects Web Intelligence, and 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer; and one security notes for a low-severity bug in NetWeaver AS for JAVA. Additionally, the company released updates for two Hot News security notes: one dealing with the security updates for the Chromium browser in SAP Business Client and another for an improper authentication flaw in NetWeaver ABAP Server and ABAP Platform that was initially addressed in June 2021.
A third updated security note deals with a medium severity potential XML External Entity vulnerability in SAP Process Integration.
