About this talk
SAP's multi-client design can be a vulnerability. Accidentally adding new clients with default credentials (000-999) and wrong parameters can lead to hardcoded credential exploits, bypassing security. #SAPSecurity #Cybersecurity #HardcodedCredentials #SystemVulnerabilities

Hard-coded credentials in various systems from SAP. So, SAP is multi-client compatibility. So, you for example, I know from some public governance systems in Germany that there's one hoster running 500 different communities in one system. It's made for that. That's pretty cool thing of SAP. And so, but there's always one that's the shipped by default, that's a 000, and it goes up to 999. You can iterate those and figure out maybe and if someone adds by accident a new one and do not add any user data and sets the wrong parameter, you have hard-coded credentials enabled and can break into the system. And if you think that there's no OS execution capability in SAP, no, it is.
