SAP issues monthly Security Patch Day Bulletins on the second Tuesday of every month- which has been synchronized with the Security Patch Day of other major software vendors. This month’s bulletin was issued on April 14, 2026, and contains 19 new security notes and 1 update to a previously released security note. Three (3) of these notes apply to the SAP BusinessObjects Platform and have a medium severity.
InfoSol recommends patching to either BI 4.3 SP5 Patch 5, BI 2025 SP0 Patch 9, or higher for all SAP BI customers not already on BI 4.3 SP5 Patch 5 or higher. These patches were released in March 2026. As always, review SAP’s release notes and patch upgrade guide, which are available on the SAP Help Portal.
IMPORTANT: InfoSol does not recommend BI 4.3 SP5 Patch 4 or BI 2025 SP0 Patch 8, as these patch levels were affected by a CMS clustering issue described in SAP Note 3724948.
IMPORTANT: Support packs prior to BI 4.3 SP5 are no longer under patch support. Customers already on BI 4.3 SP4 may prefer to stay on SP4 and apply patch 17- just be aware that certain CVE will remain unpatched on the SP4 code line.
IMPORTANT: While there were no BusinessObjects CVE in the March 2026 note, there were some in the February 2026 note that have medium and high severity that should be included in a business case for patching.
As a side benefit, patching to these newer versions of BI 4.3 or BI 2025 will automatically update Apache Tomcat to version 9.0.111 (see SAP KB 2112338).
InfoSol also recommends that its InfoBurst customers use this opportunity to upgrade to version 2026.1.1. InfoBurst software can be downloaded from the InfoSol Help Portal.
Whether you choose BI 4.3 or BI 2025 will largely be determined by whether your organization still uses “classic” UNV universes. These universes are no longer supported in BI 2025 and must be converted to UNX format prior to upgrading to BI 2025. Choosing BI 4.3 or BI 2025 also depends on the age of your hardware and operating system, as most organizations adopting BI 2025 will likely want to deploy it on the latest version of Windows Server.
