🚀 SAP and AWS have expanded the SAP Cloud ERP on AWS (GROW) offering to the Europe (Frankfurt) region, delivering a full SaaS ERP solution that can be implemented in months rather than years. The service centers on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public edition and integrates HR, procurement, sales, finance, supply chain, and manufacturing with SAP Business AI–powered processes. Customers can leverage generative AI via Amazon Bedrock in the SAP generative AI hub and benefit from AWS Graviton processors' energy efficiency.

🔒 SAP has released security updates addressing 13 vulnerabilities, including a maximum-severity insecure deserialization flaw in NetWeaver AS Java (CVE-2025-42944, CVSS 10.0) that can lead to arbitrary OS command execution via the RMI‑P4 module. The vendor's latest patch adds a JVM-wide serial filter (jdk.serialFilter) to block dangerous classes and packages — a list curated with the ORL and recommended by security firm Onapsis — and complements an earlier remediation issued last month. Other critical fixes include a directory traversal in SAP Print Service (CVE-2025-42937, 9.8) and an unrestricted file upload in SAP Supplier Relationship Management (CVE-2025-42910, 9.0); administrators are urged to apply patches and mitigations immediately.

⚖️ The European Commission has launched a formal investigation into whether SAP engaged in anti-competitive conduct in aftermarket services for its on‑premise ERP software. The probe focuses on four practices: mandatory uniform support across products, blocking termination of unused licenses, extending non‑terminable initial support terms, and charging reinstatement fees equal to prior amounts. The Commission says these practices could limit competition from third‑party support providers and amount to unfair trading conditions. SAP says its policies follow industry standards and expects no significant financial impact.

🚀 Google Cloud and SAP announced tighter integration to unify enterprise data and accelerate intelligent automation. SAP Business Data Cloud now connects to BigQuery via Datasphere, enabling bidirectional replication and AI-ready analytics. Procurement is simplified on the Google Cloud Marketplace with SAP BTP. New agent tooling—Agentspace, the Agent Development Kit, A2A and MCP standards—and expanded M4 memory-optimized VMs certified for SAP HANA aim to speed deployments, improve data consistency, and enable autonomous process automation.

🔒 SAP on Tuesday released security updates addressing multiple vulnerabilities, including three critical flaws in SAP NetWeaver that could enable remote code execution and arbitrary file uploads (notably CVE-2025-42944, CVE-2025-42922 and CVE-2025-42958). The company also fixed a high-severity input-validation issue in SAP S/4HANA (CVE-2025-42916). Security researchers recommend immediate patching and temporary mitigations such as P4 port filtering to limit exposure.

🔔 CISOs with SAP NetWeaver AS Java deployments should urgently patch two critical flaws: CVE-2025-42944, a CVSS 10.0 insecure deserialization in the RMI-P4 module, and a CVSS 9.9 insecure file-upload vulnerability that can lead to full system compromise. As an immediate mitigation, admins can apply P4 port filtering at the ICM level until patches are installed. Microsoft released fixes for 13 critical bugs this month, including Hyper‑V guest-to-host escalation issues and an NTLM elevation flaw (CVE-2025-54918) marked Exploitation More Likely; teams should prioritize domain controllers and virtualization hosts.

🔒 SAP released patches in its September security bulletin addressing 21 vulnerabilities, including three critical issues affecting SAP NetWeaver. The most severe, CVE-2025-42944 (10.0), is an insecure deserialization bug in the RMI-P4 module that can allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by sending a malicious Java object to an open port. Two other critical flaws include an insecure file operations bug in Deploy Web Service (CVE-2025-42922, 9.9) that can allow file uploads by non-admin authenticated users, and a missing authentication check (CVE-2025-42958, 9.1) that exposes high-privilege actions and sensitive data. Administrators are advised to apply SAP’s patches and mitigation guidance available via SAP notes.

⚠ Security teams must urgently patch SAP S/4HANA after a critical code-injection flaw, CVE-2025-42957 (CVSS 9.9), was fixed by the vendor on August 12 and is now being exploited in the wild. The vulnerability allows a low-privilege user to inject arbitrary ABAP via an RFC-exposed function module, bypassing authorization checks and enabling admin-level control and potential OS interference. No workaround exists; timely patching across complex SAP landscapes is essential to prevent data theft, credential harvesting, backdoors, ransomware and operational disruption.

⚠️ SAP released a patch for a critical S/4HANA vulnerability, CVE-2025-42957 (CVSS 9.9), after researchers observed a live exploit that allows low-privilege ABAP code injection and full system takeover. The flaw affects all S/4HANA deployments, including private cloud and on-premises, and can be weaponized easily because ABAP source is publicly viewable. Administrators should apply the update immediately and review account privileges, default credentials, encryption settings, and monitoring to limit risks such as data tampering, account creation with SAP_ALL, and password-hash exfiltration.

⚠️ A critical ABAP code injection flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-42957, in an RFC-exposed function of SAP S/4HANA is being exploited in the wild to breach exposed servers. The bug allows low-privileged authenticated users to inject arbitrary code, bypass authorization checks, and take full control of affected systems. SAP issued a fix on August 11, 2025 (CVSS 9.9), but SecurityBridge reports active, limited exploitation and urges immediate patching.

⚠️ SAP patched a critical command injection in SAP S/4HANA tracked as CVE-2025-42957 (CVSS 9.9) that allows low-privileged users to inject arbitrary ABAP via an RFC-exposed function module, bypassing authorization checks. SecurityBridge and NVD report active exploitation affecting both on-premise and Private Cloud editions, with potential for full system compromise. Organizations are urged to apply SAP's monthly fixes immediately, monitor for suspicious RFC calls or new admin accounts, implement network segmentation and backups, adopt SAP UCON to restrict RFC usage, and review access to authorization object S_DMIS activity 02.

⚠️ A critical code injection vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA (CVE-2025-42957, CVSS 9.9) is being actively exploited in the wild, researchers warn. The flaw allows a low-privileged user to inject ABAP code and gain full system and operating system access across all S/4HANA releases. SecurityBridge confirmed practical abuse and noted the exploit was straightforward to develop because ABAP code is openly viewable. Organizations that have not yet applied the August 11 patch should install it immediately to prevent complete data compromise and unauthorized administrative access.

🔍 AWS Systems Manager Configuration Manager now supports SAP HANA, enabling automated validation of SAP HANA databases running on AWS against best practices defined in the AWS Well‑Architected Framework SAP Lens. The capability automatically assesses configurations, proactively flags misconfigurations, and provides specific remediation guidance so teams can address issues before they impact operations. Checks can be scheduled or run on demand, and SSM for SAP Configuration Manager is available in all commercial AWS Regions.
