Security Notes by Product Category
Vulnerabilities: July 2025 Highlights
[CVE-2025-42953] Missing Authorisation check in SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP (SAP Note 3623440)
SAP Netweaver System Configuration does not perform necessary authorisation checks for an authenticated user, resulting in the escalation of privileges. This could compromise the integrity and availability of the system, with no impact on its confidentiality.
[CVE-2025-42952] Missing Authorisation check in SAP Business Warehouse and SAP Plug-In Basis (SAP Note 3623255)
SAP Business Warehouse and SAP Plug-In Basis allow an authenticated attacker to add fields to arbitrary SAP database tables and/or structures, potentially rendering the system unusable. On successful exploitation, an attacker can render the system unusable by triggering short dumps on login. This could cause a high impact on availability.
[CVE-2025-42968] Missing Authorisation check in SAP NetWeaver (RFC enabled function module) (SAP Note 3621037)
SAP NetWeaver allows an authenticated non-administrative user to call the remote-enabled function module, which could grant access to non-sensitive information about the SAP system and OS without requiring any specific knowledge or controlled conditions. This results in a minimal impact on confidentiality, with no effect on the integrity or availability of the application.
[CVE-2025-42985] Open Redirect vulnerability in SAP BusinessObjects Content Administrator workbench (SAP Note 3617380)
Due to insufficient sanitisation in the SAP BusinessObjects Content Administrator Workbench, attackers could craft malicious URLs and execute scripts in a victim’s browser. This could potentially lead to the exposure or modification of web client data, resulting in a low impact on confidentiality and integrity.
[CVE-2025-42974] Missing Authorisation Check in SAP NetWeaver and ABAP Platform (SDCCN) (SAP Note 3610056)
Due to a missing authorisation check, an attacker could authenticate as a non-administrative user and call a remote-enabled function module. This could enable access to information that is usually restricted, resulting in a minimal impact on confidentiality.
