AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2026-0491, organizations should immediately identify and inventory all SAP Landscape Transformation instances running affected versions (DMIS 2011_1_700 through 2020). In the interim, restrict administrative privileges strictly to trusted personnel and implement robust monitoring of all RFC calls and function module invocations to detect anomalous or unauthorized code execution attempts. Employ SAP's security audit logs and enable detailed logging for suspicious activities related to code injection or OS command execution. Harden the SAP environment by applying the principle of least privilege, ensuring that only necessary users have admin rights. Consider network segmentation to isolate SAP systems and limit exposure of RFC interfaces to trusted networks. Regularly review and update authorization concepts to prevent privilege escalation. Additionally, conduct penetration testing and code reviews focused on RFC-exposed modules to identify similar vulnerabilities. Implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting unusual SAP process behaviors. Finally, prepare incident response plans specific to SAP system compromises to enable rapid containment and recovery.
Description
SAP Landscape Transformation 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.
