CVE-2019-0352
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 · uneditedIn SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform, before versions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, some dynamic pages (like jsp) are cached, which leads to an attacker can see the sensitive information via cache and can open the dynamic pages even after logout.
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 confidenceDynamic JSP pages in SAP Business Objects BI Platform are cached by the web server, allowing sensitive information to be exposed through the browser cache. Additionally, users can access these dynamic pages even after logout because cached content remains accessible, indicating improper cache control headers for authenticated content.

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 SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform versionLocate the SAP BusinessObjects installation directory and check the version file or use the SAP BusinessObjects Administration Console to confirm the installed version matches 4.10, 4.20, or 4.30Affected if The installed version is 4.10, 4.20, or 4.30
-
Examine web server cache configurationReview the web server configuration files (such as httpd.conf, server.xml, or equivalent) that serve the SAP BusinessObjects JSP pages to determine if caching is enabled for dynamic contentAffected if Caching is enabled for dynamic JSP pages in the web server configuration
-
Verify cache control headers for authenticated contentUse a browser developer tool or HTTP headers inspection tool to capture a response from an authenticated JSP page and check if Cache-Control, Pragma, or Expires headers are set to prevent cachingAffected if Cache control headers are missing or set to allow caching for authenticated JSP pages
-
Test persistent access after logoutLog into SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform, navigate to a dynamic JSP page, log out, then attempt to access the same URL directly to see if the cached content is still servedAffected if Cached content remains accessible after user logout
The environment is affected if the installed SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform version is 4.10, 4.20, or 4.30 and dynamic JSP pages are cached without proper cache control headers for authenticated content.
