Latest NetWeaver vulnerabilities #
On April 24, 2025, SAP issued an emergency patch note for several of the Visual Composer development server component of the NetWeaver server.
- CVE-2025-31324 is rated critical with a CVSSv3 base score of 10.0. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to remote code execution by remote unauthenticated attackers.
What is the impact? #
A missing authentication check within the Visual Composer Metadata Uploader could allow remote unauthenticated attacker to upload malicious files, such as webshells, to a vulnerable target. They could then directly execute the shells via GET request potentially resulting in system compromise.
The Visual Component development server is not installed by default but is reportedly very commonly installed and used.
Are updates or workarounds available? #
SAP has issued patches and provided some mitigation guidance for all affected software. Refer to the advisory above for more information. The official documentation indicates that NetWeaver 7.50 and higher are impacted but there have been reports that this impacts 7.1x as well.

A set of recently patched SAP vulnerabilities has been surfaced by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), with their recommendation to patch as soon as possible. Discovered and disclosed by security researchers at Onapsis, these three vulnerabilities are referred to as ICMAD and affect SAP applications which utilize the SAP Internet Communication Manager (ICM).
Which SAP NetWeaver versions are affected? #
Some versions of SAP NetWeaver contain all three of these ICMAD vulnerabilities:
- CVE-2022-22536 (CVSS "critical" score of 10.0) - vulnerable to request smuggling and request concatenation, successful exploitation by an unauthenticated attacker resulting in code execution, victim impersonation, data exfiltration, denial of service, and more. In addition to NetWeaver, some versions of SAP Web Dispatcher and SAP Content Server also contain this vulnerability.
- CVE-2022-22532 (CVSS "high" score of 8.1) - vulnerability in shared memory handling, successful exploitation by an unauthenticated attacker resulting in code execution, victim impersonation, or taking over the victim's logon session.
- CVE-2022-22533 (CVSS "low" score of 3.7) - vulnerability in error handling which could result in a denial of service attack by exhausting available memory, leading to system shutdown.
Is a security patch available? #
Yes. SAP made patched software available earlier this week. While there currently are no known customer breaches related to exploitation of the ICMAD vulnerabilities, SAP does strongly recommend that admins update to the latest available versions as soon as possible.
