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
Due to unsafe deserialization used in SAP Commerce Cloud (virtualjdbc extension), versions 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 1808, 1811, 1905, it is possible to execute arbitrary code on a target machine with 'Hybris' user rights, resulting in Code Injection.

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 · high confidence

This is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the virtualjdbc extension of SAP Commerce Cloud. An attacker can exploit this flaw to achieve arbitrary code execution with 'Hybris' user privileges, leading to code injection attacks on the affected system.

MitigationApply the relevant SAP security patch for CVE-2019-0344 to upgrade to a fixed version of SAP Commerce Cloud. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the virtualjdbc interface and monitor for indicators of compromise.

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. Identify SAP Commerce Cloud version
    Check the version file or configuration: locate the file 'installer.properties' or check the 'platform/version' in the Hybris administration console, or run: 'ant -p' in the hybris/bin/platform directory to see version info
    Affected if The installed version matches 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 1808, 1811, or 1905
  2. Locate the virtualjdbc extension
    Search for the virtualjdbc extension directory in the Hybris installation: check for a folder named 'virtualjdbc' under hybris/bin/ext-accelerator or search the extensions.xml configuration file for 'virtualjdbc' entry
    Affected if The virtualjdbc extension directory or configuration entry exists in the environment
  3. Verify virtualjdbc is enabled
    Examine the localextensions.xml or admin console extension list to confirm virtualjdbc is listed as an active extension
    Affected if virtualjdbc is listed as an active/enabled extension in the configuration
  4. Check virtualjdbc configuration files
    Look for virtualjdbc configuration files such as 'virtualjdbc.properties' in the config directory or within the extension's configuration folder
    Affected if A virtualjdbc.properties or similar configuration file exists and contains JDBC-related settings

A user is affected if they are running SAP Commerce Cloud version 6.4-1905 AND the virtualjdbc extension is installed and enabled in their Hybris configuration.
