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.
-
Verify SAP Mobile Platform installationLocate the SAP Mobile Platform installation directory or check installed programs on the system. Common paths include C:\Program Files\SAP\MobilePlatform3 or /sap/mobileplatform3 on Linux/Unix systems.Affected if SAP Mobile Platform 3.0 is installed on the system
-
Confirm exact version 3.0Check the version of SAP Mobile Platform by looking at version information in the installation directory, or use SAP administrative tools to query the installed version. Look for version file or check system information.Affected if The installed version is exactly 3.0 (the affected version)
-
Identify ClientHub componentCheck if the ClientHub component is present within the SAP Mobile Platform installation. Look for ClientHub directories or check the component list via SAP administration console.Affected if ClientHub component is installed or enabled
-
Verify DataVault configurationExamine the DataVault configuration files within the ClientHub directory. Look for configuration files named datavault.xml, vault.cfg, or similar files in the configuration directory. Check if DataVault is initialized or enabled.Affected if DataVault component is configured or enabled in ClientHub
-
Inspect cryptographic material storageCheck the file system for DataVault storage files where keystream and cryptographic keys may be stored. Look for vault data files, key stores, or encrypted storage files in the ClientHub data directories.Affected if DataVault storage files exist and contain sensitive cryptographic materials
The environment is affected if SAP Mobile Platform version 3.0 is installed with ClientHub and DataVault component enabled, as the vulnerability allows exposure of cryptographic materials stored in DataVault.
