Summary

CVE-2025-42904 is a medium-severity Missing Password Field Masking (CWE-549) vulnerability in Sap (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Input Capture (T1056); ranked at the 25th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-6 (Authentication Feedback) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

IA-6 Authentication Feedback good match

IA-6 directly requires obscuring authentication feedback such as password entry, structurally eliminating the exposure described by CWE-549.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

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

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require proper UI controls such as password masking to prevent observation.

PR.AA-03 partial match
prevents

Authentication policies cover password handling but the subcategory focuses on credential strength and MFA rather than entry-time masking.

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.

A.8.11 Data masking mostly match
prevents

Data masking directly addresses hiding sensitive values such as passwords on user interfaces.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding practices would include implementing password masking, but the control is broader than this single weakness.

A.8.5 Secure authentication partial match
degrades

Secure authentication explicitly requires masking of authentication secrets during entry.
