CVE-2024-21737

OS command execution via privileged function module

Published Jan 9, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Code injection in SAP Application Interface Framework File Adapter 702 allows remote authenticated users to execute operating system commands. The affected function module traverses application layers and dispatches supplied commands directly to the host operating system. A high-privilege SAP account with access to the affected backend is required; successful exploitation permits control of application behavior and its data and services.
