Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-0064 is a vulnerability in the Central Management Console of the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform. Under specific conditions, an attacker with administrative rights can generate or retrieve a secret passphrase, which enables them to impersonate any user in the system. This issue, linked to CWE-732 (Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource), carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), reflecting high impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability disruption.

Exploitation requires an attacker to possess administrative privileges on the affected system, allowing network-based access with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the ability to impersonate any user, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and manipulation of system configurations or reports.

SAP advisories, including security note 3525794 and details from the SAP Security Patch Day, provide guidance on mitigation, such as applying available patches to address the vulnerability in the Central Management Console.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Enforces the access control policy that defines permissions on resources, thereby stopping incorrect assignments from remaining exploitable.

Directly requires assignment of only the minimum necessary permissions, preventing overly broad grants on critical resources.

PR.AA-05 full match
prevents

Directly requires defining, enforcing, and reviewing access permissions and least privilege on resources.

PR.PS-01 mostly match
prevents

Hardened baselines and configuration management explicitly include correct permission settings for critical resources.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

prevents

By requiring owners to determine and document the exact permissions needed for each asset, the control reduces the likelihood that default or overly permissive file and resource permissions will be left in place.

prevents

Documented provisioning and revocation procedures reduce the chance that critical resources retain overly permissive default or leftover permissions after personnel changes.

prevents

Documented authorization, expiry rules, and audit logging of privileged accounts make it harder for critical resources to retain overly permissive or stale permission assignments.

prevents

Requiring explicit configuration of access controls and permissions for files, applications and services counters the assignment of overly permissive default or incorrect file-system rights.

prevents

Enforcing differentiated permissions on the source-code repository and program listings stops the assignment of overly broad default or inherited permissions to critical resources.

prevents

By defining and enforcing secure permission settings in configuration templates, the control reduces the likelihood that critical resources receive incorrect permission assignments.
