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.
-
Check the library version in go.modLocate the go.mod file in your project root and search for 'github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go'. The version number appears after the @ symbol (e.g., 'github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go v0.16.0').Affected if The version is displayed as less than v0.17.0 (such as v0.16.0, v0.15.0, or similar).
-
Check the library version in go.sumLocate the go.sum file and search for entries containing 'sap/cloud-security-client-go'. The version hash entry will indicate the version number.Affected if The version listed is prior to v0.17.0.
-
Check vendor directory for the libraryIf your project uses vendored dependencies, inspect the vendor/github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go directory for a VERSION file, or check the library source files which may contain version markers.Affected if The version found is v0.16.x or earlier.
-
Check build artifacts or dependency reportsRun 'go list -m all' or 'go mod graph' to list all dependencies and their versions. Look for the sap/cloud-security-client-go entry in the output.Affected if The displayed version is below v0.17.0.
You are affected if the github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go library in your project resolves to any version prior to v0.17.0.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped0.17.0
Upgrade the github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go library to version 0.17.0 or later to remediate the vulnerability.
github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go v0.17.0
- Identify the current version of github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go in use by checking go.mod or by running 'go list -m all'
- Update the dependency to version 0.17.0 or later by running: go get github.com/sap/[email protected]
- Verify the upgrade was successful by running 'go list -m github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go'
- Run tests to ensure the upgrade does not break existing functionality
- Update go.sum if necessary by running 'go mod tidy'
- Redeploy the application with the updated dependency
