CVE-2025-42957 (GCVE-0-2025-42957)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-12 02:09 – Updated: 2026-02-26 17:49Title
Code Injection vulnerability in SAP S/4HANA (Private Cloud or On-Premise)
Summary
SAP S/4HANA allows an attacker with user privileges to exploit a vulnerability in the function module exposed via RFC. This flaw enables the injection of arbitrary ABAP code into the system, bypassing essential authorization checks. This vulnerability effectively functions as a backdoor, creating the risk of full system compromise, undermining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system.
