Risk specification
This note has been re-released with the updated link to the KBA in the 'Workaround' section (no customer action is required). SAP NetWeaver AS Java allows an authenticated attacker to upload an arbitrary file using a flaw in a web service, resulting in the ability to execute this file and gain full control over the system.Solution
SAP NetWeaver AS Java now restricts access to the affected web service to administrative users only, preventing non-administrative users from uploading arbitrary files through this interface. Alternativly, the consulting team has proposed the following: "As a workaround, the vulnerable service com.sap.engine.services.dc.wsgate can be deactivated.". The suggestion may be considered, as a workaround or compensating mitigation. We recommend installing/applying the correction wherever possible and as soon as possible. Base your decision on whether or not to apply the patch on your companies and systems risk perspective and consider the provided CVSS 9.9 score.
