SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 242117

Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by multiple vulnerabilies.

 - SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and ABAP Platform allows an unauthenticated attacker to create a malicious link which they can make publicly available. When an authenticated victim clicks on this malicious link, injected input data will be used by the web site page generation to create content which when executed in the victim's browser leading to low impact on Confidentiality and Integrity with no effect on Availability of the application. (CVE-2025-42956)

 - Due to a missing authorization check in SAP NetWeaver Application server for ABAP, an authenticated user with high privileges could exploit the insufficient validation of user permissions to access sensitive database tables. By leveraging overly permissive access configurations, unauthorized reading of critical data is possible, resulting in a significant impact on the confidentiality of the information stored. However, the integrity and availability of the system remain unaffected. (CVE-2025-42961)

 - Due to an open redirect vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, an unauthenticated attacker could craft a URL link embedding a malicious script at a location not properly sanitized. When a victim clicks on this link, the script executes within the victim's browser, redirecting them to a site controlled by the attacker. This allows the attacker to access and/or modify restricted information related to the web client. While the vulnerability poses no impact on data availability, it presents a considerable risk to confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2025-42981)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
