The CVE blind spot: A CVE-based scan does not show the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions.

Migrate to SAP ECC 6.0 / Business Suite 7 Extended Maintenance (EHP6-8) or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
