CVE-2025-42978
Last modified
CVE-2025-42978 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The widely used component that establishes outbound TLS connections in SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java does not reliably match the hostname that is used for the connection against the wildcard hostname defined in the received certificate of remote TLS server. This might lead to the outbound connection being established to a possibly malicious remote TLS server and hence disclose information. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
