SAP NetWeaver Process Integration CVE-2019-0379 Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Description

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration is prone to an authentication-bypass vulnerability. Remote attackers can exploit this issue to bypass the authentication mechanism and gain unauthorized access. SAP NetWeaver Process Integration version 1.0 and 2.0 are vulnerable.

Technologies Affected

• SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 1.0
• SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 2.0

Recommendations

Block external access at the network boundary, unless external parties require service.
If global access isn’t needed, filter access to the affected computer at the network boundary. Restricting access to only trusted computers and networks might greatly reduce the likelihood of successful exploits.

Deploy network intrusion detection systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity.
Deploy NIDS to monitor network traffic for anomalous or suspicious activity. Monitor logs (generated by NIDS and by the server) for evidence of attacks against the server.
