In systems using the optional capture & replay functionality of SAP HANA, 1.00 and 2.00, (see SAP Note 2362820 for more information about capture & replay), user credentials may be stored in clear text in the indexserver trace files of the control system. An attacker with the required authorizations on the control system may be able to access the user credentials and gain unauthorized access to data in the captured or target system.

Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.6, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network but requires specific conditions to be met though user interaction is required . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from sap organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

First disclosed in 2018, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For sap's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
