To underline the need for SAP Code Vulnerability Management, one must look at the fixes released by the vendor during SAP Security Patch Day. The category “Program error” has most of the patches under it.
What risks can arise from vulnerabilities in the ABAP/4 source code? As with all programming languages, the developer must fix known vulnerabilities. Otherwise, threat actors can exploit them. These include the classics such as SQL injection, directory traversals, backdoors, insufficient authorization checks, and many more. If an attacker exploited existing vulnerabilities, he could access and modify data without being noticed. Additionally, this could result in a loss of integrity of the digital information in the SAP database.
