Database-table deletion via unvalidated ABAP report input
Published Sep 9, 2025 · Updated Sep 9, 2025
Improper input validation in SAP S/4HANA S4CORE 102 through 108 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary database-table contents. Affected ABAP reports fail to validate a specified table input before performing the deletion operation. Exploitation requires high-privilege report access and affects tables not protected by authorization groups, causing data loss and service interruption without disclosure.
