What is CVE-2025-42959?

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in SAP systems tied to the improper handling of Hashed Message Authentication Codes (HMAC). This occurs when HMAC credentials from a vulnerable system are reused in a replay attack targeting a different system. Even if the targeted SAP system has all the necessary patches applied, attackers can still achieve full system compromise. This can severely impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, underscoring the necessity for consistent security measures and patch management.
