Advisory

SAP takes the security of its vast product portfolio very seriously and thus releases security fixes for vulnerabilities reported by external researchers and their customers every second Tuesday of the month.

SAP Note 3621236 was released on 08.07.2025 and deals with "[CVE-2025-42964] Insecure Deserialization in SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal Administration" within Java. We advice you to follow the instructions, to resolve remote code execution vulnerability with a hot news potential for exploitation in component BC-PIN-PCD.

According to SAP Security Advisory team a workaround exists. It is advisable to implement the correction as part of maintenance.

Risk specification

SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal Administration allows an authenticated attacker with administrative privileges to upload and deserialize malicious content, potentially leading to full system compromise and unauthorized command execution on the host system.

Solution

The application now performs input validation prior to deserialization to eliminate the insecure deserialization vulnerability.  Alternativly, the consulting team has proposed the following: "There is no direct workaround to disable the vulnerable endpoint. However, it is restricted to highly privileged administrators. As a mitigation, ensure privileged accounts are strictly managed, actively monitored, and administrator credentials are securely protected from leakage or misuse.". The suggestion may be considered, as a workaround or compensating mitigation. We recommend installing/applying the correction wherever possible and as soon as possible. Base your decision on whether or not to apply the patch on your companies and systems risk perspective and consider the provided CVSS 9.1 score.

Affected System

SAP Netweaver Application Server Java is part of the SAP NetWeaver Application Platform. It provides the complete infrastructure for deploying and running Java applications.
