Notify Admin when a script runs on SAP GUI

former_member1374306 — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 09:05:31 GMT

I want to keep the Scripting enabled but notify the Admin whenever a script runs on SAP GUI. Is there such a trigger or event notification that achieves this.?

Hi Suyash,

Unfortunately, there is no server side event to log if a certain action has been carried out by a script or by human interaction. This is because the authorization check for S_SCR is performed right after logon and the result only impacts the SAP GUI connection to the Windows scripting host of the user's client.

As a result you have two options:

1. correlate SAP server-side event with Windows events related to the Active X Object sapfewse.ocx of the Windows scripting host of the user

2. Make plausibility rules on SAP server-side events if the events are likely being performed by human interaction or by a script.

Both cases are something, you'd need to design a proper SOC runbook. I suggest you first start to determine the threat scenarios you want to put detective controls on. Maybe active countermeasures and deception can be appropriate compensating measures too. We have a training for this https://academy.no-monkey.com/course/identify-and-neutralize-the-bad-guys-an-introduction-to-security-operations-for-enterprise-it-environments-using-sap-technology

I hope this helps.
