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
SAP Fiori Front End Server - version 605, allows altering of approver details on the read-only field when sending leave request information. This could lead to creation of request with incorrect approver causing low impact on Confidentiality and Integrity with no impact on Availability of the application.

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

SAP Fiori Front End Server version 605 fails to enforce read-only field restrictions on approver details within leave request workflows. The application allows users to modify approver information that should be non-editable, enabling creation of leave requests with incorrect or unauthorized approvers.

MitigationImplement server-side validation to enforce read-only field policies and add proper authorization checks to prevent modification of approver fields in leave request transactions.

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. Verify SAP Fiori Front End Server version
    Access SAP Fiori Admin front-end server settings or check system information to confirm the installed Fiori Front End Server version equals 605
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 605
  2. Identify leave request transactions in Fiori launchpad
    Log into the Fiori launchpad and locate leave request related applications such as Leave Request, Leave Management, or Time Off requests
    Affected if Leave request applications are available in the launchpad
  3. Inspect approver field properties in OData metadata
    Access the OData service metadata for the leave request transaction (for example, by navigating to /sap/opu/odata/sap/HRusiXXXX_CV/ or similar leave request service endpoint) and examine the properties for ApproverName or ApproverID fields
    Affected if Approver fields in the metadata do not have the read-only annotation set to true or are marked as editable
  4. Attempt to modify approver field via OData patch request
    Use a REST client or browser developer tools to intercept a leave request creation or edit request and attempt to modify the ApproverID or ApproverName field before submission
    Affected if The application accepts the modified approver value and processes the request without server-side rejection

A user is affected if the SAP Fiori Front End Server version is 605 and the leave request workflow permits modification of approver fields that should be read-only, which can be verified by inspecting OData metadata annotations or successfully submitting a modified approver value.
