An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2025-42999 in the wild since at least 15 May 2025, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Sap Netweaver. 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-2025-42999/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42999/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-42999","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42999/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-42999","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rgq9-rg7j-xm4x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged user can upload malicious content to the Visual Composer Metadata Uploader, leading to host system compromise via insecure deserialization.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sap","cpe":[{"product":"netweaver","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Metadata Uploader is vulnerable when a privileged user can upload untrusted or malicious content which, when deserialized, could potentially lead to a compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host system.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Deserialization","id":"CVE-2025-42999","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2025-05-15","dueDate":"2025-06-05","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","product":"NetWeaver","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"SAP","vulnerabilityName":"SAP NetWeaver Deserialization Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sap:netweaver","products":["sap:netweaver"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information Disclosure Vulnerability in SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform (PMW)","id":"CVE-2025-43000"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security misconfiguration vulnerability in SAP Business One Integration Framework","id":"CVE-2025-42998"},"products":["SAP NetWeaver (Visual Composer development server)"],"published":"2025-05-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Unrestricted File Upload","id":"CVE-2025-31324","kev_date_added":"2025-04-29","published":"2025-04-24"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Unrestricted File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-38163","kev_date_added":"2022-06-09","published":"2021-09-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6822","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1592","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-11","vendors":["SAP_SE"]},"summary":"A privileged user can upload malicious content to the Visual Composer Metadata Uploader, leading to host system compromise via insecure deserialization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42999/"}
