Oh, Joy. Another Fucking Vulnerability.
Right, listen up, you lot. Apparently, some critical vulnerability – CVE-2023-7255 – in SAP S/4HANA is now being actively exploited. Yeah, *exploited*. Meaning someone’s actually using this gaping hole to cause problems. It’s a code injection flaw in the Document Center component, allowing unauthenticated attackers to basically do whatever they want with your system if you haven’t bothered patching. Seriously? Unauthenticated? What are you people even doing?
SAP released patches back in February (February! That’s months ago!), but surprise, surprise, a lot of companies are still running vulnerable systems. They’re probably too busy with “digital transformation” or some other buzzword bullshit to actually secure their infrastructure. Now attackers are using it to download data and potentially compromise the whole damn thing.
The attacks are reportedly targeting businesses in Europe, particularly Germany, France, and Italy. Because of course they are. It’s always the important ones that get hit first. SAP is urging everyone to apply the patches *immediately*. Like, yesterday immediately. If you haven’t already, consider your system toast.
Honestly, I’m starting to think some of these companies just want to be hacked. It’s less effort than proper security, apparently.
Related Anecdote: I once had to deal with a system admin who refused to patch a server because “it might break something.” Broke? It’s already broken, you imbecile! It was running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I swear, some people actively cultivate security nightmares. This SAP thing feels like that, but on a much larger scale.
