CVE-2026-0503
Description
Due to missing authorization check in the SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) and SAP S/4HANA (SAP EHS Management), an attacker could extract hardcoded clear-text credentials and bypass the password authentication check by manipulating user parameters. Upon successful exploitation, the attacker can access, modify or delete certain change pointer information within EHS objects in the application which might further affect the subsequent systems. This vulnerability leads to a low impact on confidentiality and integrity of the application with no affect on the availability.

Missing authorization in SAP ECC and S/4HANA EHS Management allows extraction of credentials and unauthorized access to change pointer data.
Vulnerability
Description CVE-2026-0503 is a missing authorization check vulnerability in SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) and SAP S/4HANA's EHS Management module. Due to the lack of proper authorization, an attacker can extract hardcoded clear-text credentials and bypass the password authentication check by manipulating user parameters. This allows the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application.
Exploitation
Exploitation does not require prior authentication, as the attacker can manipulate user parameters to bypass the authentication mechanism. The attacker must be able to send crafted requests to the vulnerable component, possibly over the network. No special privileges are needed.
Impact
Successful exploitation enables the attacker to access, modify, or delete change pointer information within EHS objects. This can affect subsequent systems that rely on this data, leading to a low impact on confidentiality and integrity. Availability of the application is not affected.
Mitigation
SAP has addressed this vulnerability through its Security Patch Day, releasing security notes that fix the missing authorization check. Users are strongly recommended to apply the relevant patches as soon as possible. [1]
