Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Changed: An exploited vulnerability can affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are different and managed by different security authorities.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-27689, organizations should first apply any official patches or updates from SAP as soon as they become available. In the absence of patches, implement strict access controls to limit network access to SAP SCM systems only to trusted users and systems, reducing the risk of exploitation by unauthorized actors. Monitor and audit user activity for unusual or repeated invocation of remote-enabled function modules, which may indicate exploitation attempts. Employ rate limiting or input validation at the application or network level to detect and block excessively large loop-control parameters before they reach the vulnerable function. Strengthen authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Additionally, consider deploying resource usage monitoring and automated alerts for abnormal CPU or memory consumption patterns on SAP SCM servers. Engage with SAP support to obtain guidance on temporary workarounds or configuration changes that can limit the impact of this vulnerability. Finally, conduct regular security awareness training for users with access to SAP SCM to reduce insider threat risks.

Description

Due to an uncontrolled resource consumption (Denial of Service) vulnerability, an authenticated attacker with regular user privileges and network access can repeatedly invoke a remote-enabled function module with an excessively large loop-control parameter. This triggers prolonged loop execution that consumes excessive system resources, potentially rendering the system unavailable. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition that impacts availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2026-27689 is denial of service, which can severely disrupt business operations relying on SAP Supply Chain Management systems. Organizations using affected SAP SCM versions may experience system slowdowns or complete unavailability, leading to operational delays, supply chain disruptions, and potential financial losses. Since SAP SCM is often integral to manufacturing, logistics, and inventory management, prolonged outages could cascade into broader enterprise disruptions. Although confidentiality and integrity are not compromised, the availability impact alone can affect service-level agreements, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. The requirement for authenticated access limits exploitation to insiders or compromised accounts, but insider threats or credential theft could enable attackers to exploit this vulnerability. The lack of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the vulnerability's high severity score and critical business role of SAP SCM systems make it a priority for remediation. Organizations with high availability requirements and complex supply chains are particularly vulnerable to operational impacts.

CWE-606Unchecked Input for Loop Condition (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
