CVE-2024-42374Network attack vector

Data disclosure and rendering outage via XML injection

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

XML injection in SAP BEx Web Java Runtime Export Web Service 7.5 allows remote attackers to disclose ADS data and halt PDF rendering. The export service insufficiently validates untrusted XML, allowing crafted documents to retrieve SAP ADS information and consume available XMLForm services. Network access to the service is sufficient; no authentication or user interaction is required, and exhaustion stops SAP ADS PDF creation.
