Advisory

A note with CVSS 3.0 for component CA-UI5-SC was released by SAP on 10.06.2025. The correction/advisory 3601169 was described with "[CVE-2025-42990] HTML Injection in Unprotected SAPUI5 applications" and affects the system type SAP UI5.

A workaround exists, according to SAP Security Advisory team. It is advisable to implement the correction as monthly patch process.

The vulnerability addressed is code injection within SAP UI5.

Risk specification

Unprotected SAPUI5 applications contain a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker with basic privileges to inject malicious code into a web page. This may result in the redirection of users to attacker-controlled URLs, potentially facilitating phishing or other client-side attacks.

Solution

The issue has been addressed by introducing a new property, disableStyleAttribute, with a default value of "false", for the sap.m.FormattedText and sap.m.FeedListItem controls. When activated, this property removes inline styles before rendering the controls in the UI, thereby mitigating the risk of malicious code injection. Although an alternative solution exists, it is advisable to apply the correction! This is the workaround, which was suggested by the SAP security experts: "Ensure input validation before storing user controlled input in the backendThe style attribute can be removed via the JavaScript function .remove attribute("style"), but this comes at the disadvantage of specific styles set by SAPUI5 not working anymore".

The advisory is valid for

SAP_UI 755 ²³
SAP_UI 756 ¹⁷
