Import a malicious transport

Description

Import coding into the system without using the Transportline

Steps

  1. Prepare Transport File Description: Create or obtain a transport request containing malicious code/configuration Input: Malicious payload (ABAP code, customizing, etc.) Output: Transport files (.R3trans, .K files) References: Process: Transport Creation

  2. Bypass Transport Controls Description: Use direct import methods to skip normal transport validation Input: Transport files, system access Output: Bypassed transport controls References: Option: Put Transport files to destination

  3. Execute Import Description: Import transport directly into target system Input: Prepared transport files Output: Imported objects in target system References: Option: Executing Import

  4. Verify Installation Description: Confirm malicious code is active and functional Input: System access Output: Confirmation of successful installation References: Process: Code Verification

Outcome

Malicious code successfully imported into SAP system, bypassing standard transport controls and change management processes. This allows unauthorized modifications to be deployed without proper review or approval workflows.
