It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-42979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SAP_SE SAP GUI for Windows. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-42979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42979/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-42979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3px8-gf2c-qqrh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP GUI for Windows","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with local registry access can recover RFC user credentials due to insecure obfuscation instead of secure encryption in SAP GUI for Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-922","name":"Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"The GuiXT application, which is integrated with SAP GUI for Windows, uses obfuscation algorithms instead of secure symmetric ciphers for storing the credentials of an RFC user on the client PC.
