Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
SQL injection vulnerability in the SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function in SAP NetWeaver 7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function of SAP NetWeaver 7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The vulnerability exists in this RFC function and can be exploited through unspecified vectors, potentially allowing complete database compromise.

MitigationApply the relevant SAP Security Note to patch the vulnerable SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function. As a compensating control, restrict network access to SAP NetWeaver interfaces and implement WAF rules to detect SQL injection attempts until the patch can be deployed.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify SAP NetWeaver version
    Execute SAP transaction code SM51 to display the system version, or use transaction code SAINT and check the System Info section. Confirm the version is exactly 7.30.
    Affected if The installed SAP NetWeaver version is 7.30 exactly and the SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function is present in the system.
  2. Locate the vulnerable RFC function
    Execute SAP transaction code SE37 (ABAP Function Modules). In the Function Module field, enter SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC and press F7 to display. Alternatively, use transaction code SE80 to search for this function module.
    Affected if The function module SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC exists in the system and is remotely callable.
  3. Check RFC authorization for the function
    Execute transaction code SM59 (RFC Configuration). Look for RFC destinations that can access the function module. Use transaction code SU01 to check user RFC authorizations for the function module SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC.
    Affected if The function module is remotely accessible via RFC without strict authorization controls.
  4. Review system logs for exploitation indicators
    Execute transaction code SM37 (Background Job Overview) to check for unusual jobs. Use transaction code ST03N to review system performance logs. Check transaction code SECLOG for security-related logs for any SQL injection patterns targeting SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC.
    Affected if Logs show unusual or unauthorized SQL commands or excessive calls to the SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function.

You are affected if your SAP NetWeaver version is exactly 7.30 and the SRTT_GET_COUNT_BEFORE_KEY_RFC function module exists and is accessible in your environment.
