Unauthenticated system access via exposed JNDI interface
Published Dec 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 21, 2025
Improper access control in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.50 allows remote attackers to read and modify data via JNDI. User Defined Search exposes an open JNDI naming and directory interface that accepts unauthenticated attachments and grants access to system services without an authorization check. Network reachability to that interface is sufficient for full user-data reads, limited user-data changes, and system performance degradation.
