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
SAP Business One - version 10.0, extended log stores information that can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.

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 confidence

SAP Business One version 10.0 contains an extended logging feature that stores sensitive information in log files. This exposed data can provide attackers with valuable reconnaissance information (e.g., system paths, usernames, configuration details) or directly expose sensitive user data that was improperly written to logs.

MitigationConfigure log output to exclude or redact sensitive fields, implement proper log sanitization, restrict log file access permissions, and review what data the extended logging feature captures to ensure compliance with data minimization principles.

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. Confirm SAP Business One version
    Check the installed version of SAP Business One in the system information or about dialog. Look for version 10.0 specifically.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 10.0 (version 10.0 GA or any 10.0.x patch level).
  2. Locate the extended logging feature settings
    Access the SAP Business One administration or configuration console. Navigate to the logging or diagnostics settings area where extended logging options are defined.
    Affected if The extended logging feature is enabled or configured in the system.
  3. Identify log file locations
    Examine the SAP Business One configuration for log file paths. Common locations include the installation directory logs folder or the configured log output directory.
    Affected if Log files are being written to disk by the extended logging feature.
  4. Inspect log contents for sensitive data
    Open and review recent log files for exposed sensitive information such as system paths, usernames, passwords, configuration values, or user data records.
    Affected if Log files contain any sensitive information that should not be exposed (usernames, system paths, configuration details, or user data).

A user is affected if they run SAP Business One version 10.0 with the extended logging feature enabled and the log files contain sensitive information that should not have been recorded.
