An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-40504 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sap Netweaver Application Server Abap. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40504/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40504/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-40504","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40504/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-40504","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jpqf-f2v3-px9w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver AS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Excessive transport authorizations in a template role allow users to exceed display-only permissions, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"netweaver_application_server_abap","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"A certain template role in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP and ABAP Platform - versions 700, 701, 702, 710, 711, 730, 731, 740, 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, 756, contains transport authorizations, which exceed expected display only permissions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2021-40504","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sap:netweaver_application_server_abap","products":["sap:netweaver_application_server_abap"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40506"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in SAP GUI for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-40503"},"products":["SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform"],"published":"2021-11-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Code Injection vulnerability in SAP CRM and SAP S/4HANA (Scripting Editor)","id":"CVE-2026-0488","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP (SAP Cloud Print Manager and SAPSprint)","id":"CVE-2021-40499","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Directory Traversal vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2023-27269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-14"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Directory Traversal vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2023-27500","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Capture-replay vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2023-0014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP and ABAP Platform","id":"CVE-2022-29611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in ABAP Platform(SAP Basis)","id":"CVE-2019-0257","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["SAP SE"]},"summary":"Excessive transport authorizations in a template role allow users to exceed display-only permissions, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-40504/"}
