Various SAP software products are vulnerable. After successful attacks, attackers can, for example, access services without logging in or view data that is actually protected.

In an article on the August Patchday, the developers warn, among other things, of two"critical" vulnerabilities for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (CVE-2024-41730) and SAP Build Apps (CVE-2024-29415). If single sign-on is enabled for BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform, an attacker can obtain a log-in token via a REST endpoint. This could lead to complete compromise.

Other vulnerabilities are classified with a"high" threat level. Attackers can use these points for data leaks, among other things (CVE-2024-33003). In order to protect companies from attacks, admins should install the versions equipped against the described attacks as soon as possible. So far, there have been no reports of attacks already in progress.
