Title
Path Traversal vulnerability in SAP Business Connector
Summary
Due to a Path Traversal vulnerability in SAP Business Connector, an attacker authenticated as an administrator with adjacent access could read, write, overwrite, and delete arbitrary files on the host system. Successful exploitation could enable the attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server, resulting in a complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
