CVE-2025-42924
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSAP S/4HANA landscape SAP E-Recruiting BSP allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft malicious links, when clicked the victim could be redirected to the page controlled by the attacker. This has low impact on confidentiality and integrity of the application with no impact on availability.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSAP E-Recruiting BSP in S/4HANA contains an open redirect vulnerability where unauthenticated attackers can craft malicious links containing arbitrary redirect URLs. When victims click these links, they are redirected to attacker-controlled pages, enabling phishing attacks. The vulnerability exists in the E-Recruiting business server pages component.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed SAP S/4HANA versionExecute transaction code SM51 or use SAPMMC to view the SAP system release version, or query table VERSION in SE11 for system version detailsAffected if The installed S/4HANA version falls within the affected version range of the E-Recruiting BSP component and has not been patched
-
Verify E-Recruiting component installationUse transaction code SE16 to query table ECRP_RECRUITING or check component availability via SAP Solution Manager, examining if module E-Recruiting is deployedAffected if E-Recruiting module is installed and active in the SAP system
-
Confirm E-Recruiting BSP is enabledAccess transaction code SE80 or SICF to check if the E-Recruiting business server pages /sap/bc/bsp/sap/ path is active and accessibleAffected if The E-Recruiting BSP servlet path is active and publicly or internally accessible without additional authentication layers
-
Inspect E-Recruiting URL parameters for redirect handlingReview E-Recruiting BSP pages (especially career portal URLs) for parameters that control redirection such as ret, url, redirect, or target parameters using transaction code SE24 or by examining HTTP response headersAffected if The application accepts and processes redirect parameters without strict allowlist validation, allowing external URLs
-
Check for existing SAP security notes addressing this CVESearch SAP Security Notes using transaction code SNOTE or the SAP Support Portal for note numbers related to CVE-2025-42924 or E-Recruiting open redirectAffected if No relevant SAP security note has been applied to address this specific vulnerability
If SAP E-Recruiting BSP is installed and active, the system is vulnerable unless an SAP security patch for CVE-2025-42924 has been applied or URL validation controls are in place.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict URL validation using an allowlist approach for all redirect parameters, ensuring only trusted internal destinations are permitted. Sanitize any user-controlled redirect input and reject external URLs or suspicious patterns.
