As every quarter, we send you the review of SAP security notes, in this case the first quarter of 2019.
We have 4 different critical notes (Hot News) in this quarter although one that appears in 2 months (that’s why in total they would be 5 published) is an usual update related to the “SAP Business Client” and 6 high-level highlights, for the detailed review of 10 notes.
- The most critical note (CVSS 9.8), previous note update, is related to the component “SAP Business Client” and is a recurring note with 2 updates this quarter.
We also highlight the second most critical note (CVSS 9.4) for SAP HANA.
We have a total of 51 notes for the entire quarter, 22 less than last quarter, (39 of the Tuesday patch, 5 less than last quarter):
- In January, a total of 18 notes were published (11 in the Security Notes Tuesday – 17 new and 1 update of previous notes).
- There are 2 “hot new” (critical) being the most significant of several vulnerabilities for the “SAP Cloud Connector” with a CVSS of 9.3, and the second for “SAP Landscape Management” with a CVSS of 9.1.
- On the other hand we have 2 notes of high criticality (High Priority) being the maximum criticality with a CVSS of 7.3 for the “Adobe PDF Print Library”.
- This month the most common type is “Cross-Site Scripting” (6/18 and 4/16 in patch day) and the platform with the most vulnerabilities solved is SAP Netweaver ABAP
- A total of 16 notes have been published in February (all of them, 16, in Security Notes Tuesday – 13 new and 3 updates of previous notes).
- There are 2 “hot new” (critical) being an update of a recurring note related to the “SAP Business Client” and with a CVSS of 9.8, which will also be updated again in March. The second on the lack of an authorization check for SAP HANA with a CVSS of 9.4.
- On the other hand we have 4 High Criticality Notes (High Priority) being the maximum criticality with a CVSS of 8.7 and another an update of a previous note.
- This month the most common types are “Missing Authorization Check” and “Cross-Site Scripting” (3/16 in both cases).
- In March a total of 17 notes were published (12 in the Security Notes Tuesday – 14 new and 3 updates of previous notes).
- The only “hot new” (critical) is the update of an April note related to the “SAP Business Client” with its third update so far this year and with a CVSS of 9.8. Important to install it again.
- There are also 2 high priority notes, one very significant with a CVSS of 8.7 and the other with a CVSS of 7.6.
- This month the most common type is “Missing Authorization Check” (6/17 and 3/12 in patch day).
In the graph (March 2019 SAP post) we can see the evolution and classification of the notes of the 3 months for the first quarter of the year (2019), in addition to the 3 months of the last quarter (only the notes of Sec. Tuesday / Patch Day – by SAP):

And in the following graph (March 2019 of ERPScan post) we can see the same evolution, but including all the notes of the month, even those published in addition to Sec. Tuesday / Patch Day ones:
El detalle completo de las notas más relevantes es el siguiente:
- SAP Cloud Connector has several vulnerabilities (2696233): An attacker can use a missing authentication vulnerability to get access to service and read, modify or delete information.

Executed commands will run with the same privileges of the service that executed a command.
