CVE-2025-30012
Published: 13 May 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-30012 is a critical-severity Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502) vulnerability in Sap Supplier Relationship Management. Its CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical).
Operationally, ranked in the top 16.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The vulnerability CVE-2025-30012 affects the Live Auction Cockpit component within SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM). It stems from the use of a deprecated Java applet that processes requests in a specific encoding format, enabling deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) and subsequent arbitrary operating system command execution. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 with a network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability under scope change.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted malicious payload to the affected servlet, which decodes and deserializes the input, resulting in command execution with the privileges of the SAP Administrator account. This allows full compromise of the application server without any prior authentication or interaction from legitimate users.
SAP has published mitigation guidance in security note 3578900 along with the May 2025 security patch day release. The EPSS score remains low and unchanged at 0.0177 with no observed increase after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing supplies malicious serialized objects, detecting unsafe deserialization and supporting corrective actions.
Evaluation of untrusted data handling (deserialization testing) reveals unsafe processing, which the required remediation process addresses.
Untrusted serialized data can be deserialized and observed inside the chamber, blocking gadget-chain exploitation outside the sandbox.
Validates or rejects untrusted serialized data before deserialization occurs.
Identifies and blocks malicious code introduced through deserialization of untrusted data at system boundaries.
Integrity verification of serialized information can detect tampering before deserialization occurs.
Provenance of associated data allows detection of untrusted sources before deserialization or processing occurs.
