SAP GUI for Java may let low‑privileged attackers run commands

CVE-2026-66768 · published 2 months ago
Summary

The SAP GUI for Java client does not correctly check the trust level of functions it receives from a connected SAP system. A user with limited rights could trick the backend into causing the client to execute commands on the end‑user’s computer, potentially exposing data or disrupting operations. Install the latest SAP patches and limit which backend systems can communicate with the GUI to mitigate the risk.

Original advisory text
Improper Access Control in SAP NetWeaver (SAP GUI for Java)
SAP GUI for Java does not correctly enforce the trust level policy for certain functions invoked from a connected backend system. A low-privileged attacker could exploit this weakness by manipulating a connected backend system to trigger affected functionality. This could allow arbitrary command execution on the victim's machine, leading to a high impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
