SAP GUI’s Laughable “Security”: Unencrypted Data, Easy Pickings!
SAP GUI input history vulnerabilities expose user data like a clumsy magician revealing secrets—except now, anyone with file access can perform data tricks. These weaknesses, CVE-2025-0055 and CVE-2025-0056, turn stored input history into a treasure trove for hackers. The fix? Disable the feature and patch faster than a dog digging for its lost bone.
Hot Take:
Well, it seems SAP’s GUI has been storing your sensitive data like it’s keeping a diary written in invisible ink–or rather, very visible ink if you know the magic word! With vulnerabilities named like they belong in a sci-fi movie, CVE-2025-0055 and CVE-2025-0056 are turning your input history into a hacker’s version of “This Is Your Life.” It’s time for SAP to stop living in the past and start encrypting like it’s 2025!
Key Points:
- Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-0055 & CVE-2025-0056) affect SAP GUI on Windows and Java.
- Input history feature stores sensitive data weakly encrypted or not at all.
- Windows uses insecure XOR-based encryption; Java doesn’t bother with encryption.
- Data exposure can lead to GDPR, PCI DSS, or HIPAA violations.
- Mitigation: Disable input history and apply updates; SAP issued stronger encryption in January 2025.
