Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid, authenticated session with at least non-administrative (low-privilege) user credentials on the SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform - confirmed by CVSS PR:L. The vulnerability is network-reachable with no additional complexity (AV:N, AC:L, UI:N), meaning no special network position or user interaction is needed beyond authentication. Exploitation is limited to information disclosure only (C:L); no write access or service disruption is achievable through this flaw. Non-default configurations are not required - any deployment exposing the Admin Tools component to authenticated non-admin users is potentially affected. External unauthenticated attackers without valid credentials cannot exploit this directly.

Impact

CVSS signals a medium-low risk: network-reachable (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), low-privilege authenticated access required (PR:L), no user interaction, unchanged scope, and only low confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability consequence. EPSS data was not provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. KEV status is absent, meaning active exploitation is not confirmed by CISA. No public proof-of-concept has been identified. The real-world priority is modest: while any authorization bypass in an enterprise admin interface warrants attention, the narrow impact - limited information disclosure with no write or denial-of-service path - constrains the blast radius. The authentication requirement (PR:L) also limits exposure to insiders or accounts already compromised. Defenders should patch on normal patch cycle cadence; there is no evidence supporting emergency treatment.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a valid low-privilege account on the SAP BusinessObjects platform sends a crafted network request to an administrative endpoint that lacks a proper authorization check. The server returns restricted administrative information without verifying the caller's role, exposing configuration or operational details. No public exploit code is available, so exploitation currently requires manual discovery of the unprotected endpoints.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Admin Tools) fails to enforce authorization checks on certain administrative functions, allowing an authenticated low-privilege user to access restricted information. Affected versions include the 2025 release and ENTERPRISE 430. The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) and carries a CVSS 4.3 rating with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing.

RemediationAI

Apply the patch referenced in SAP Security Note 3770649, available via https://me.sap.com/notes/3770649, released as part of SAP Security Patch Day. An exact fixed build version was not confirmed in the available intelligence data - consult the SAP note directly for the specific support package or patch level. As a compensating control while patching is scheduled, restrict platform access to the Admin Tools component by tightening network perimeter rules to limit which authenticated users can reach the administrative interface, and audit non-administrative accounts for any role escalation. No adverse side effects of the vendor patch are documented in available references.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform is an enterprise reporting and analytics suite. The Admin Tools component exposes administrative functionality that is gated by role-based access controls. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that the application fails to verify whether the authenticated caller holds the required administrative role before serving a privileged response - a server-side access control enforcement failure, not a client-side bypass. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:sap_se:sap_businessobjects_business_intelligence_platform_(admin_tools):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers the affected product family across both the 2025 and ENTERPRISE 430 release lines.

DescriptionCVE.org

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Admin Tools) does not perform sufficient authorization check on certain administrative functionality. An attacker authenticated as a non-administrative user could bypass this restriction to gain limited information about affected functionality. This results in a low impact on confidentiality. There is no impact on integrity and availability.
