CVE-2026-27681: SAP BPC and SAP BW SQL Injection via Authorization Flaw
SAP has published CVE-2026-27681, which affects SAP Business Planning and Consolidation and SAP Business Warehouse. Insufficient authorization checks allow an authenticated user to run crafted SQL statements that can read, modify, and delete database data. The record rates the issue critical with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 and maps it to CWE-89, but it lists no affected or fixed versions, so the SAP references should be consulted directly.

- Review authorization roles and restrict database-level privileges granted to application and service accounts.
Detection guidance
- Review database and application audit logs for unusual query patterns or unexpected modification and deletion of data originating from BPC or BW.
- Monitor authentication activity for accounts that show access patterns inconsistent with their assigned roles.
- Correlate changes in critical planning or warehouse data with user activity to support investigation.
