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 versionCheck the installed version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform in your environment. This is typically visible in the SAP BusinessObjects Central Management Console (CMC) about page, or through the SAP BusinessObjects Installation Manager. Confirm the exact version number.Affected if The installed version is exactly 430 (version 430)
-
Verify Client Management Console (CMC) is accessibleConfirm that the Client Management Console component is deployed and accessible in your SAP BusinessObjects BI 430 environment. CMC is typically accessible via web interface at a URL path containing '/CMC' or similar.Affected if CMC is deployed and accessible in the environment
-
Inspect CMC access control configurationsReview the CMC security and access control settings, specifically user group permissions, folder security, and object-level access rights. Check whether restrictions on sensitive information (such as system configuration data, user accounts, or financial reports) are properly enforced for all user roles.Affected if CMC access controls allow unrestricted or improperly scoped access to sensitive information for non-privileged users
-
Test for unauthorized information access via CMCUsing a low-privilege or unauthorized user account, attempt to access restricted areas within CMC such as system information, user lists, configuration panels, or sensitive reports that should be limited to administrators only.Affected if A low-privilege user can access information that should be restricted to authorized administrators only
Your environment is affected if you are running SAP BusinessObjects BI platform version 430 AND the CMC allows unauthorized users to access restricted sensitive information due to improper access controls.
