⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

An authenticated attacker gains administrative privileges, accesses all financial reconciliation data, modifies transactions, and potentially compromises the entire SAP environment.

🟢

If Mitigated

With proper network segmentation and monitoring, impact is limited to unauthorized data access within the SAP application boundary.
