Advisory
A note with CVSS 8.3 for component SCM-BAS-MDL was released by SAP on 13.05.2025. The correction/advisory 3600859 was described with "[CVE-2025-43010] Code injection vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition or On Premise(SCM Master Data Layer (MDL))" and affects the system type ABAP.
A workaround does not exist, according to SAP Security Advisory team. It is advisable to implement the correction as part of maintenance.
The vulnerability addressed is code injection within ABAP.
Missing authority checks are still the most common security defect related to authorizations in custom code. Since SAP uses an explicit authorization model, an authority checks must be coded in order to be executed. If an explicit check is not coded, all users have access. This type of vulnerability not only exists in SAP standard it also exists in customer coding. Check your custom developments for vulnerabilities that pose a risk to your systems. SecurityBridge helps detect code vulnerabilities before they are implemented in production.
Risk specification
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and On-Premise (SCM Master Data Layer) contain a critical vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to remotely execute a function module and replace arbitrary ABAP programs. Successful exploitation can result in the unauthorized modification of system programs, posing a severe risk to system integrity and stability.Solution
The application now deprecates the obsolete function module, which has been configured to produce a short dump with an explanatory message when called. This effectively prevents any unauthorized modifications or damage to system reports.
