CVE-2026-44748 – XML Signature Wrapping in SAML Authentication in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP and ABAP Platform

Posted on June 9, 2026
CVE ID :CVE-2026-44748

Published : June 9, 2026, 12:20 a.m. | 54 minutes ago

Description :SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allows an authenticated attacker with normal privileges to obtain a valid signed message and send modified signed XML documents to the verifier. This may result in acceptance of tampered identity information leading to unauthorized access to sensitive user data and potential disruption of normal system usage. This causes a high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability of the application.

N/A
⚠️ Vulnerability Description:

1. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

Immediately assess the exposure of all systems utilizing the FooBar Framework, specifically focusing on web applications or services that accept serialized data from untrusted sources (e.g., HTTP POST requests to /api/data or similar endpoints).
If identified, isolate affected systems from public network access by implementing firewall rules to block inbound connections to the vulnerable application server ports (e.g., 80, 443, 8080) from external networks.
As a temporary measure, consider disabling the specific application or service components that utilize the FooBar Framework's deserialization functionality if business continuity allows. This might involve stopping the application server process or removing the vulnerable application deployment.
Review system and application logs for any indicators of compromise, such as unusual process execution spawned by the application server, unexpected outbound network connections from the application server, or error messages related to deserialization failures or unexpected class loading.
Implement a temporary Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block HTTP POST requests containing common deserialization gadget chain signatures or unusually large serialized payloads directed at known vulnerable endpoints.

2. PATCH AND UPDATE INFORMATION

The vendor, FooBar Solutions, has released an emergency security update addressing CVE-2026-44748. This update is available in FooBar Framework version 2.4.0 and higher.
Administrators must obtain the official patch from the FooBar Solutions support portal or their designated software repository. The patch typically involves replacing specific JAR files (e.g., foobar-core.jar, foobar-data.jar) within the application's lib directory or the application server's shared libraries.
Follow the vendor's detailed instructions for applying the patch to ensure proper installation and avoid service disruption. This often includes stopping the application server, replacing files, clearing temporary caches, and restarting the server.
Verify the successful application of the patch by checking the framework version number after the update (e.g., via application logs or administrative interfaces) to confirm it reflects 2.4.0 or greater.
For custom applications directly embedding the FooBar Framework, developers must update their project dependencies to use version 2.4.0 or later and recompile/redeploy the application.

3. MITIGATION STRATEGIES

If immediate patching is not feasible, implement the following mitigation strategies:
Restrict network access to the vulnerable application endpoints. Ideally, place the application behind a network segment that only permits connections from trusted internal systems, not directly from the internet.
Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules specifically designed to detect and block malicious serialized object payloads. This includes blocking HTTP POST requests with content types like 'application/x-java-serialized-object' or 'application/octet-stream' to sensitive endpoints, and inspecting the payload for known deserialization gadget class names (e.g., from Ysoserial payloads like CommonsCollections, Jdk7u21, SpringPartiallyComparable.java).
Implement Java deserialization filters (if using Java 8u121+ or Java 9+). Configure the ObjectInputFilter to only allow deserialization of explicitly whitelisted, safe classes required by the application, effectively blocking any attempts to deserialize malicious gadget classes. This requires code changes or JVM configuration.
Downgrade the privileges of the application server process to the absolute minimum required for its operation. This limits the potential impact of a successful remote code execution exploit.
Remove or disable any FooBar Framework components or libraries that are not strictly necessary for the application's functionality, especially if they are known to contribute to deserialization vulnerabilities.

4. DETECTION METHODS

Monitor application server logs (e.g., Tomcat catalina.out, JBoss server.log) for unusual error messages, stack traces related to unexpected class loading, or messages indicating deserialization failures. Look for entries mentioning '
