Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if SAP ERP Central Component is installedCheck the SAP system version using transaction SM51 or by reviewing the SAP system information in the SAP Management Console. Confirm the system is running SAP ECC (ERP Central Component).Affected if The system is running SAP ERP Central Component (ECC)
-
Verify the FS_SR component is presentUse SAP transaction SAINT (Installation Assistant) or SPAM (Support Package Manager) to view installed software components. Look for the 'Financial Services - Statutory Reporting' (FS_SR) component in the component list.Affected if The FS_SR (Statutory Reporting for Insurance) component is installed in the SAP system
-
Check if FS_SR is active or configuredReview the SAP component usage via transaction SE06 or check the installed software components table (CVERS or COMPONENT table accessible via SE16). Verify that FS_SR shows as installed and potentially active.Affected if The FS_SR component shows as installed or active in the SAP system
-
Review FS_SR module configurationAccess the Financial Services module configuration through SAP transaction SPRO or by checking the related customizing settings for FS_SR. Look for any active configurations or enabled interfaces related to statutory reporting.Affected if The FS_SR module is configured or enabled within the Financial Services module
A system is affected if it runs SAP ECC with the FS_SR (Statutory Reporting for Insurance) component installed, regardless of version, as all versions of SAP ECC with this component are vulnerable.
