CVE-2025-42958 — Due to a missing authentication check in the SAP NetWeaver application… security vulnerability
Due to a missing authentication check in the SAP NetWeaver application on IBM i-series, the application allows high privileged unauthorized users to read, modify, or delete sensitive information, as well as access administrative or privileged functionalities. This results in a high impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.

Matched remediation archetype
Privilege escalation and unsafe privilege management
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Map service accounts, operating-system identities, roles, capabilities, impersonation, set-user transitions, and administrative helper paths.
- Determine whether untrusted users or lower-privilege processes can reach the affected transition or modify inputs it trusts.
- Review file, socket, registry, device, job, container, and cloud-role permissions used before and after privilege changes.
Remediate safely
- Apply the supported fix and redesign privileged operations as a minimal, authenticated, allowlisted interface.
- Drop privileges before processing untrusted input, verify the drop succeeds, and remove unnecessary roles, capabilities, and write permissions.
- Validate ownership and permissions at time of use and add explicit lower-to-higher privilege boundary tests.
