SAP HANA database is vulnerable to privilege escalation allowing an attacker with valid credentials of any user to switch to another user potentially gaining administrative access. This exploit could result in a total compromise of the system�s confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

In systems using the optional capture & replay functionality of SAP HANA, 1.00 and 2.00, (see SAP Note 2362820 for more information about capture & replay), user credentials may be stored in clear text in the indexserver trace files of the control system. An attacker with the required authorizations on the control system may be able to access the user credentials and gain unauthorized access to data in the captured or target system.
