Server takeover via arbitrary file replacement
Published Dec 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Unrestricted file upload in SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 420 and 430 allows remote authenticated users to overwrite server files. SAP states that normal BI user privileges permit uploading or replacing any operating-system file, but has not publicly identified the affected request handler or its validation failure. Successful exploitation grants control of the server and its application data without user interaction.
