CVE-2022-41204 is a high-severity vulnerability identified in SAP Commerce versions 1905, 2005, 2105, 2011, and 2205. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-601, which corresponds to an Open Redirect issue. Specifically, an attacker can manipulate the URL of the SAP Commerce login page to alter its content, injecting malicious code that redirects form submissions to an attacker-controlled server. This redirection enables the attacker to capture user credentials submitted through the login form, effectively facilitating credential theft and account hijacking. The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected SAP Commerce systems. The attack vector requires no privileges (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R), as the victim must submit the manipulated login form. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating a high severity level. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the potential for credential compromise and subsequent unauthorized access to SAP Commerce environments is significant. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting necessitates immediate attention to mitigation strategies to prevent exploitation.

For European organizations using SAP Commerce, this vulnerability poses a serious risk. SAP Commerce is widely used by enterprises for e-commerce and customer engagement platforms, often handling sensitive customer data and business-critical transactions. Successful exploitation could lead to credential theft, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to administrative or user accounts. This could result in data breaches, fraudulent transactions, disruption of e-commerce services, and reputational damage. Given the integration of SAP Commerce with other enterprise systems, a compromise could cascade, affecting broader IT infrastructure. The confidentiality of customer and business data is at risk, as is the integrity of transactional processes. Availability could also be impacted if attackers leverage access to disrupt services. Compliance with GDPR and other European data protection regulations could be jeopardized, leading to legal and financial consequences.

European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Immediately review and monitor SAP Commerce login page URLs for unauthorized modifications or suspicious redirects. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block open redirect attempts and unusual URL parameter manipulations targeting the login page. 3) Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all SAP Commerce user accounts to reduce the impact of credential theft. 4) Conduct regular security awareness training to educate users about phishing and suspicious login page behaviors. 5) Monitor authentication logs for unusual login patterns or failed login attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6) Engage with SAP support channels to obtain any available patches or hotfixes and apply them promptly once released. 7) Consider implementing URL validation and strict input sanitization on the login page to prevent injection of malicious redirect parameters. 8) Isolate SAP Commerce environments within segmented network zones to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs.
