CVE-2026-0485
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 BusinessObjects BI Platform allows an unauthenticated attacker to send specially crafted requests that could cause the Content Management Server (CMS) to crash and automatically restart. By repeatedly submitting these requests, the attacker could induce a persistent service disruption, rendering the CMS completely unavailable. Successful exploitation results in a high impact on availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.
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 BusinessObjects BI Platform contains a vulnerability in the Content Management Server (CMS) where unauthenticated attackers can send specially crafted requests that cause the CMS to crash and automatically restart.

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 SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform installationLocate the SAP BusinessObjects installation directory and determine the installed version. Common paths include C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects or /opt/sapbo. Check for version information in the installation folder or registry.Affected if The installed version matches 430, 2025, or 2027 exactly.
-
Verify CMS service statusCheck if the CMS (Content Management Server) service is running. On Windows, use Services.msc or 'sc query' command. On Unix, check the process list for the CMS process.Affected if The CMS service exists and is currently running in the environment.
-
Check CMS availability and responseSend a test request to the CMS port (default 6400) or use SAP BusinessObjects administration tools to verify CMS responsiveness. Check if the CMS accepts connections without immediate failure.Affected if The CMS accepts connections and responds to requests.
-
Review CMS crash or restart eventsExamine SAP BusinessObjects logs (typically in the logging directory under the installation path) for recent CMS crash, failure, or automatic restart events. Look for timestamps and error patterns indicating unexpected restarts.Affected if Recent CMS crash or restart events are found in the logs without an expla正常的维护计划。
Your environment is affected if SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform version 430, 2025, or 2027 is installed and the CMS service is running, as the vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to crash and disrupt the CMS.
