CVE-2023-25617: OS Command Execution vulnerability in SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform (Adaptive Job Server)

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.93% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 60.7% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

SAP Business Object (Adaptive Job Server) - versions 420, 430, allows remote execution of arbitrary commands on Unix, when program objects execution is enabled, to authenticated users with scheduling rights, using the BI Launchpad, Central Management Console or a custom application based on the public java SDK. Programs could impact the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system.
