Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 9 Sep 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

1. Monitor SAP's official security advisories closely for patches or updates addressing CVE-2025-42925 and apply them promptly once available. 2. Implement strict access controls and monitoring on accounts with any level of authentication to the SAP NetWeaver AS Java IIOP service, minimizing the number of users with access and enforcing least privilege principles. 3. Employ enhanced logging and anomaly detection to identify unusual patterns of OID requests or brute force attempts targeting the IIOP service. 4. Consider network segmentation to restrict access to the SAP IIOP service only to trusted hosts and users, reducing exposure to potential attackers. 5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on SAP environments to detect exploitation attempts or related weaknesses. 6. Where feasible, configure SAP NetWeaver to increase randomness in identifier generation or apply custom patches/workarounds recommended by SAP support. 7. Educate internal users about the risks of credential compromise and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication, to reduce the likelihood of low-privilege account compromise.

Description

Due to the lack of randomness in assigning Object Identifiers in the SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA IIOP service, an authenticated attacker with low privileges could predict the identifiers by conducting a brute force search. By leveraging knowledge of several identifiers generated close to the same time, the attacker could determine a desired identifier which could enable them to access limited system information. This poses a low risk to confidentiality without impacting the integrity or availability of the service.

Impact

For European organizations using SAP NetWeaver AS Java SERVERCORE 7.50, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to limited system information, which might include metadata or configuration details that could aid further attacks or reconnaissance. Although the confidentiality impact is low and there is no direct threat to integrity or availability, the exposure of system information can be leveraged by attackers to map system internals or identify additional vulnerabilities. This is particularly relevant for enterprises relying heavily on SAP for critical business processes, such as manufacturing, finance, or supply chain management. The requirement for authentication with low privileges limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but given the widespread use of SAP in European enterprises, the risk remains significant. Organizations in regulated sectors (e.g., finance, healthcare) may face compliance concerns if sensitive information is inadvertently exposed. Additionally, the vulnerability could be exploited as part of a multi-stage attack chain, where initial information disclosure facilitates privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network.

CWE-341Predictable from Observable State (opens in a new tab)
Base weakness
A number or object is predictable based on observations that the attacker can make about the state of the system or network, such as time, process ID, etc.
Implementation
Increase the entropy used to seed a PRNG.
Architecture and Design · Requirements · Libraries or Frameworks
Use products or modules that conform to FIPS 140-2 to avoid obvious entropy problems. Consult FIPS 140-2 Annex C ("Approved Random Number Generators").
Implementation
Use a PRNG that periodically re-seeds itself using input from high-quality sources, such as hardware devices with high entropy. However, do not re-seed too frequently, or else the entropy source might block.
