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
Due to missing authentication check in webdynpro application, an unauthorized user in SAP NetWeaver (Guided Procedures) - version 7.50, can gain access to admin view of specific function anonymously. On successful exploitation of vulnerability under specific circumstances, attacker can view user’s email address. There is no integrity/availability impact.

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 confidence

This is an authentication bypass vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver Guided Procedures v7.50 where a webdynpro application fails to properly enforce authentication checks. An unauthenticated attacker can anonymously access a specific admin view, and under certain conditions, view user email addresses. The impact is limited to information disclosure (confidentiality only) with no integrity or availability effects.

MitigationApply the relevant SAP security patch for CVE-2023-41367, or manually enforce authentication requirements on the affected webdynpro application to ensure all admin functions require valid authentication.

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 NetWeaver version
    Access SAP System Information via transaction code SM37 or check the SAP system version via the SAP Management Console. Verify the exact NetWeaver version is 7.50.
    Affected if The installed SAP NetWeaver version is exactly 7.50.
  2. Identify if Guided Procedures is deployed
    Check for the presence of the Guided Procedures (GP) framework in the SAP system. Use transaction code SPAM to view installed software components, or check via SAP Solution Manager for the GP component.
    Affected if The SAP Guided Procedures component is installed on the system.
  3. Locate the vulnerable webdynpro application
    Using SAP transaction code SE80 or SICF, search for webdynpro applications related to admin functions in Guided Procedures. The vulnerable application is a GP admin interface webdynpro component.
    Affected if A GP admin webdynpro application is present in the system.
  4. Test for unauthenticated access to admin view
    Attempt to access the suspected GP admin webdynpro endpoint directly via browser without providing SAP credentials. Use the URL pattern typically used for webdynpro services (e.g., /sap/bc/webdynpro/).
    Affected if The admin webdynpro page loads without requiring authentication credentials.
  5. Verify information disclosure capability
    Once the admin view is accessed without authentication, check if user email addresses or other sensitive information is visible in the interface.
    Affected if User email addresses or other confidential data are visible in the admin view without authentication.

The system is affected if it runs SAP NetWeaver 7.50 with Guided Procedures deployed and the GP admin webdynpro is accessible without authentication, exposing user email addresses.
