The 2681207 was discovered by Martin Doyhenard, a researcher at the Onapsis.

“The attack can be carried out by an attacker by sending a large crafted request to a default API or ODATA services present in a HANA XS system abusing the XML parsing failure of one of the libraries which are used by xsengine to parse XML data strings. The malicious request can be remote and unauthenticated, that is, it does not need to be local or come from an authenticated user and no user credentials are needed.” reads the analysis published by Onapsis.
