CVE-2025-43005

Credential disclosure via insecure GuiXT obfuscation

Published May 13, 2025 · Updated May 13, 2025

Plaintext password storage in SAP GUI for Windows 8.00 allows local users to disclose GuiXT-stored user credentials. GuiXT protects stored credentials with an insecure obfuscation algorithm rather than cryptographic protection, allowing stored values to be recovered. Exploitation requires local access to the client; integrity and availability are unaffected.
