CVE-2025-42895 is a vulnerability identified in the SAP HANA JDBC Client version 2.0, specifically related to CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code. The root cause is insufficient validation of connection property values passed to the client. This flaw enables a high-privilege, locally authenticated user to supply specially crafted parameters that cause the client to load unauthorized code. The vulnerability affects the application's availability significantly, potentially causing denial of service or application crashes, while confidentiality and integrity impacts are assessed as low. The CVSS v3.1 score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the requirement for local access with high privileges and user interaction, but the potential for a complete service disruption. The vulnerability scope is 'changed' (S:C), meaning it can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. No patches or known exploits have been reported yet, but the risk remains due to the critical nature of SAP HANA in enterprise environments. The vulnerability highlights the importance of strict input validation in database client software, especially when handling connection parameters that could influence code execution paths.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the availability of SAP HANA services, which are widely used in enterprise resource planning, finance, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure sectors. A successful exploit could lead to service outages, disrupting business operations and potentially causing financial losses and reputational damage. Although confidentiality and integrity impacts are low, the availability impact is high, which can be critical for organizations relying on real-time data processing and transaction handling. The requirement for local high-privilege access limits remote exploitation but increases the risk from insider threats or compromised administrative accounts. Given SAP HANA's extensive deployment in Europe, especially in Germany, France, the UK, and the Nordics, the vulnerability could affect a broad range of industries including automotive, telecommunications, energy, and government services.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should implement strict access controls to limit local high-privilege user access to systems running the SAP HANA JDBC Client. Monitoring and auditing of privileged user activities should be enhanced to detect any unusual parameter usage or attempts to load unauthorized code. Although no official patches are currently available, organizations should stay alert for SAP security advisories and apply updates promptly once released. Additionally, employing application whitelisting and restricting execution of unauthorized binaries can reduce the risk of code loading attacks. Network segmentation and isolation of critical SAP HANA infrastructure can further limit the impact of potential exploitation. Finally, conducting regular security training for administrators to recognize and prevent misuse of privileged access is recommended.
