AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-42957 is a code injection vulnerability affecting SAP S/4HANA, specifically its function module exposed via RFC. It allows an attacker with user privileges to inject arbitrary ABAP code into the system, bypassing authorization checks. This vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated attacker with valid SAP credentials and S_RFC authorizations by invoking a vulnerable function module and supplying crafted input that is directly used in dynamic ABAP code execution constructs. Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-42957 can lead to a complete system compromise, undermining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. This includes the potential to modify the SAP database, create superuser accounts, download password hashes, and alter business processes. SecurityBridge has verified that the exploit is being used in the wild.
