CVE-2026-23685 | Insecure Deserialization vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver (JMS service)

Due to a Deserialization vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver (JMS service), an attacker authenticated as an administrator with local access could submit specially crafted content to the server. If processed by the application, this content could trigger unintended behavior during internal logic execution, potentially causing a denial of service. Successful exploitation results in a high impact on availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.

4.4 3.1 MEDIUM
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:H)
They need powerful rights—admin, root, or similar—before this pays off.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
