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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

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.

AI-suggested

1. Restrict access to SAP BusinessObjects AdminTools strictly to trusted administrators and users with a legitimate need, employing the principle of least privilege. 2. Monitor and audit user activities within AdminTools to detect unusual or suspicious query executions that could indicate exploitation attempts. 3. Implement strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Segregate the SAP BusinessObjects environment from general user networks to limit exposure. 5. Regularly review and update user permissions to ensure no excessive privileges are granted. 6. Stay informed on SAP security advisories and apply patches or hotfixes promptly once available. 7. Consider deploying application-layer DoS protection or rate limiting on queries to AdminTools if supported. 8. Conduct internal penetration testing and vulnerability assessments focusing on SAP BI components to identify and remediate weaknesses.

Description

CVE-2026-24324 is a medium severity vulnerability in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (AdminTools) that allows an authenticated user with standard privileges to execute a crafted query causing the Content Management Server (CMS) to crash. This results in a denial of service condition affecting system availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain intact. Exploitation requires no user interaction but does require valid user credentials. The vulnerability affects versions ENTERPRISE 430, 2025, and 2027 of the platform. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The CVSS score is 6.5, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges beyond user level. European organizations relying on SAP BusinessObjects for business intelligence and reporting could face operational disruptions if targeted. Mitigation involves monitoring user activities, restricting access to AdminTools, and applying patches or vendor guidance once available. Countries with significant SAP deployments and critical industries using SAP BI platforms, such as Germany, France, and the UK, are most likely to be impacted.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of this vulnerability is operational disruption due to denial of service of the CMS component in SAP BusinessObjects. This platform is widely used for business intelligence, reporting, and decision support, so CMS unavailability can halt critical analytics and reporting functions. Industries relying heavily on SAP BI platforms—such as manufacturing, finance, telecommunications, and public sector—may experience degraded service levels, delayed decision-making, and potential compliance risks if reporting is interrupted. Although confidentiality and integrity are not directly impacted, the loss of availability can indirectly affect business operations and service delivery. The requirement for authenticated access limits exploitation to insiders or compromised accounts, but this also means insider threats or phishing attacks could leverage this vulnerability to cause disruption. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the medium severity score and ease of exploitation warrant proactive mitigation.

Summary

CVE-2026-24324 is classified as an asymmetric resource consumption vulnerability (CWE-405) in the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform's AdminTools component. Specifically, an authenticated attacker with user-level privileges can craft and execute a particular query within AdminTools that triggers a resource exhaustion condition in the Content Management Server (CMS). This leads to the CMS crashing or becoming partially or fully unavailable, causing a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or integrity, as it does not allow data leakage or unauthorized modification. The attack vector is network-based, requiring the attacker to have valid user credentials but no additional privileges or user interaction. The affected versions include ENTERPRISE 430, 2025, and 2027 releases of SAP BusinessObjects. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating medium severity due to the impact on availability and ease of exploitation. No public exploits have been reported to date, and no patches are currently linked, suggesting organizations should monitor SAP advisories closely. The vulnerability could be exploited internally or by compromised users to disrupt business intelligence services, impacting operational continuity.

CWE-405Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification) (opens in a new tab)
Class weakness
The product does not properly control situations in which an adversary can cause the product to consume or produce excessive resources without requiring the adversary to invest equivalent work or otherwise prove authorization, i.e., the adversary's influence is "asymmetric."
Architecture and Design
An application must make resources available to a client commensurate with the client's access level.
Architecture and Design
An application must, at all times, keep track of allocated resources and meter their usage appropriately.
System Configuration
Consider disabling resource-intensive algorithms on the server side, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
