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.
-
Verify SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is installedCheck for the application in Program Files (typically C:\Program Files\SAP\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\) or look for the executable (SAP3DVisualEnterpriseViewer.exe) on the systemAffected if The application is present on the system
-
Determine the installed versionRight-click the executable, select Properties, and check the Version tab, or run the application and look in Help > AboutAffected if The version is 9.0 or lower (any version <= 9.0)
-
Check for .jt file associationsSearch the Windows Registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for .jt file extension associations, or right-click any .jt file and see if 'Open with SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer' is an optionAffected if The application is associated with .jt file handling
-
Verify JTReader.x3d component existsSearch for the JTReader.x3d file within the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer installation directory (typically in a plugins, components, or readers subfolder)Affected if The JTReader.x3d component is present in the installation directory
A user is affected if SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer version 9.0 or lower is installed with .jt file handling enabled and the JTReader.x3d component is present, allowing potential crash when opening specially crafted .jt files.
