Summary

SAP NetWeaver and ABAP Platform (Application Server ABAP) contains a weak HMAC calculation when receiving RFC callbacks, which lets an attacker with high privileges on a network segment between application servers intercept traffic, impersonate the caller, and run unauthorized function calls with escalated privileges. Exploitation requires adjacent network access and high-privilege authentication, and it affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Read the original description

Due to a weak HMAC cryptography calculation when receiving an RFC callback in SAP NetWeaver and ABAP Platform (Application Server ABAP), an authenticated attacker with high privileges and access to a network segment between application servers on an SAP system could intercept network communication between application servers and change the identity of the caller, enabling the execution of unauthorized function calls on the target server with escalated privileges leading to High impact on Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of the application.

Check your systems with an agent

Paste this into a coding or ops agent. It checks your systems read-only and reports a table per asset.

Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-109805 (Weak Cryptography in SAP NetWeaver and ABAP Platform (Application Server ABAP)), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-109805 (entry last updated 2026-11-10):
Affected:
- SAP_SE SAP NetWeaver and ABAP Platform (Application Server ABAP): versions KRNL64NUC 7.22, 7.22EXT, KRNL64UC 7.22, 7.53, KERNEL 7.22, 7.54, 7.77, 7.93, 9.16, 9.20, 9.21
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-109805 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-109805 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://me.sap.com/notes/3786876
- https://url.sap/sapsecuritypatchday
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
