CVE-2019-0258
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 · uneditedSAP Disclosure Management, version 10.01, does not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges.
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 confidenceSAP Disclosure Management version 10.01 lacks proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to escalate privileges beyond their intended access level. This is a classic vertical privilege escalation vulnerability where the application fails to verify user permissions before performing sensitive operations.

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.
-
Confirm SAP Disclosure Management versionLocate the installed version of SAP Disclosure Management in the system. This is typically found in the SAP GUI through system information, transaction code DMUI (Disclosure Management User Interface), or in the application's 'About' section under Help > System Information. Alternatively, check the SAP Solution Manager or system configuration files for the exact release version string.Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.01 (the specific version listed in the affected products)
-
Identify authenticated user rolesUsing SAP transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) or directly within Disclosure Management's administration console, review the role assignments for your test account. Document the specific roles and authorization values assigned to your user session.Affected if User has been assigned any role within the Disclosure Management system (the vulnerability affects all authenticated users)
-
Test for authorization bypass on sensitive operationsAttempt to perform operations typically restricted to higher-privileged roles, such as accessing disclosure templates, approving filings, or modifying reporting configurations that should be outside your assigned role's permissions. Document whether the system accepts or rejects these requests without proper permission verification.Affected if The system allows execution of privileged operations without proper authorization check (the core vulnerability condition)
-
Review system audit logsAccess SAP Disclosure Management audit logs through transaction code SM37 (Job Log Overview) or the application's built-in audit trail feature. Search for operations performed by your test user that fall outside their documented role permissions.Affected if Audit logs show evidence of unauthorized privileged actions being performed by users who should not have had access
-
Check authorization configuration objectsIn SAP, use transaction code SU53 (Authorization Check) after attempting a privileged operation to see if the system performed any authorization validation. Also review the role configuration in transaction code PFCG to examine whether authorization objects for sensitive Disclosure Management functions are properly maintained.Affected if Authorization objects are missing, improperly configured, or not being evaluated during sensitive operations
A user is affected if they have an installed SAP Disclosure Management version 10.01 and the system permits authenticated users to perform privileged operations without proper authorization validation.
