In the May Security Patch of 2024, SAP has released 13 new and 2 updated Security Notes. Two are classified as 'HotNews', a designation given to patches addressing critical vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of 9.0 or higher.

Critical issues:

  • SAP Note 3455438  addresses vulnerabilities in SAP CX Commerce, tracked as CVE-2019-17495 and CVE-2022-36364, (both with CVSS score 9.8). These vulnerabilities were introduced via third-party libraries—Swagger UI and Apache Calcite Avatica—and are rectified by patching the HY_COM component.
  • SAP Note 3448171, concerns a file upload vulnerability tracked as CVE-2024-33006 (CVSS score 9.6) in the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform, an improper file handling flaw.

The patch day also tackled multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities across various SAP applications. These vulnerabilities, while less severe than the 'HotNews' items, still present significant security risks, with no workarounds available—only the application of patches will mitigate these issues.

The remainder of the patches address a variety of issues categorized from medium to low priority, including vulnerabilities related to authorization checks, information disclosure, and SQL injections.
