CVE-2023-0019
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 GRC (Process Control) - versions GRCFND_A V1200, GRCFND_A V8100, GRCPINW V1100_700, GRCPINW V1100_731, GRCPINW V1200_750, remote-enabled function module in the proprietary SAP solution enables an authenticated attacker with minimal privileges to access all the confidential data stored in the database. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can expose user credentials from client-specific tables of the database, leading to high impact on confidentiality.
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.

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 GRC Process Control installationUse SAP transaction SE16 or SM37 to search for installed software components related to GRC Process Control. Check table SAPC_COMPONENT or query system information via transaction SM51.Affected if SAP GRC Process Control component is found in the system
-
Verify GRC Process Control versionCheck the installed version via transaction SM37, SPAM, or by querying table CRMD_ORDER or related GRC tables. Compare against affected versions: v1100_700, v1100_731, v1200, v1200_750, v8100.Affected if Installed version matches one of: v1100_700, v1100_731, v1200, v1200_750, or v8100
-
Locate remote-enabled function modules in GRC componentUse transaction SE37 or SE80 to search for function modules in the GRC namespace (e.g., /GRC/*) with the 'Remote-Enabled' checkbox marked. Use SE37 -> Function Module -> Documentation to confirm RFC status.Affected if Remote-enabled (RFC) function modules exist within the GRC Process Control component
-
Review access authorizations for GRC function modulesUse transaction SU53 or SUIM to check which users have authorization for executing GRC-related function modules. Examine roles and profiles assigned to the GRC function module execution authority group.Affected if Users with minimal or unrestricted privileges have authorization to execute remote-enabled GRC function modules
A system is affected if SAP GRC Process Control is installed at version v1100_700, v1100_731, v1200, v1200_750, or v8100 AND remote-enabled function modules in the GRC component are accessible to low-privilege authenticated users.
