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 CRM Internet Sales is installedCheck installed SAP modules or components for 'CRM Internet Sales' using SAP transaction code SPAM or check system information via SAP Management ConsoleAffected if The CRM Internet Sales component appears in the installed software inventory
-
Determine if Internet Sales web interfaces are enabledReview SAP ICM (Internet Communication Manager) configuration and check for active ICF (Internet Communication Framework) nodes related to Internet Sales (path typically includes /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ics and similar paths)Affected if Internet Sales ICF nodes are active and accessible
-
Check network exposure of SAP web servicesReview firewall rules, load balancer configurations, or network scans to determine if SAP ICM ports (typically 8000, 8080, or 443/80 for HTTP) are exposed to untrusted networks or the internetAffected if Port 8000, 8080, or standard HTTP/HTTPS ports serving SAP are accessible from untrusted/external networks
-
Verify if SAP CRM is accessible without authenticationAttempt to access common Internet Sales URLs (such as /sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ics or /sap/public/icman) from an external perspective or review anonymous access configuration in SAPAffected if Anonymous or unauthenticated access to CRM Internet Sales endpoints is permitted
If SAP CRM Internet Sales module is installed and its web-facing interfaces are network-accessible without requiring authentication, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
