SAP PowerDesigner Client - version 16.7, does not sufficiently validate BPMN2 XML document imported from an untrusted source. As a result, URLs of external entities in BPMN2 file, although not used, would be accessed during import. A successful attack could impact availability of SAP PowerDesigner Client.

SAP SQLA for PowerDesigner 17 bundled with SAP PowerDesigner 16.7 SP06 PL03, allows an attacker with local access to the system, to place a malicious library, that can be executed by the application. An attacker could thereby control the behavior of the application.

In SAP PowerDesigner (Proxy) - version 16.7, an attacker can send a crafted request from a remote host to the proxy machine and crash the proxy server, due to faulty implementation of memory management causing a memory corruption. This leads to a high impact on availability of the application.

SAP PowerDesigner Proxy - version 16.7, allows an attacker with low privileges and has local access, with the ability to work around system’s root disk access restrictions to Write/Create a program file on system disk root path, which could then be executed with elevated privileges of the application during application start up or reboot, potentially compromising Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of the system.
