An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-27501 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-2023-27501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27501/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27501/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27501","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7f7j-cqf9-c9h2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver AS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit insufficient path validation to delete critical OS files, causing system unavailability and integrity loss.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"netweaver_application_server_abap","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP and ABAP Platform - versions 700, 701, 702, 731, 740, 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, 756, 757, 791, allows an attacker to exploit insufficient validation of path information provided by users, thus exploiting a directory traversal flaw in an available service to delete system files.
