SolMan new hacker target

IT experts are currently warning of a critical vulnerability in SAP's Solution Manager (SolMan). Attackers are currently actively scanning for vulnerable versions of the system management software and using them to compromise all connected SAP systems - including extremely critical ones such as ERP, CRM and HR - without entering any login data. The gap allows malicious code to be infiltrated and executed remotely.

Although SAP also uses SolMan for license management at its customers, IT service management (ITSM) and application lifecycle management (ALM) are better handled by secure third-party tools. With ESM Suite 5, a Solutive product can take over IT service management and application lifecycle management for SAP systems instead of SolMan. The security gap is closed immediately through purely local use.
