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
In SAP Commerce, valid user accounts can be identified during the customer registration and login processes. This allows a potential attacker to learn if a given e-mail is used for an account, but does not grant access to any customer data beyond this knowledge. The attacker must already know the e-mail that they wish to test for. The impact on confidentiality therefore is low and no impact to integrity or availability

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 Commerce exposes different responses during customer registration and login processes depending on whether an email address is already registered. This allows an attacker to enumerate valid user accounts by submitting known email addresses and observing the system's response. No actual data access is gained, only confirmation of account existence.

MitigationImplement uniform error responses for both existing and non-existing accounts during registration/login, combined with rate limiting or account lockout mechanisms to prevent automated enumeration attacks.

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. Identify SAP Commerce version
    Check the installed SAP Commerce version by reviewing the manifest file or product metadata in your deployment (typically found in the version configuration or about page in the admin console).
    Affected if The installed version matches com_cloud_2211 or hy_com_2205 exactly.
  2. Review customer registration endpoint response
    Submit a registration request with a known email address that does NOT have an account, then submit another request with an email that IS already registered. Capture both HTTP responses.
    Affected if The two responses differ in a way that reveals whether the email is already registered (e.g., different error messages, status codes, or response times).
  3. Review customer login endpoint response
    Submit a login request with an email that has no account, then submit a login request with an email that has an account but wrong password. Capture both HTTP responses.
    Affected if The responses differ in a way that confirms account existence rather than just reporting invalid credentials generically.
  4. Inspect error message configurations
    Examine the error handling configuration files in SAP Commerce related to registration and login (look for messages like 'user already exists' or 'invalid email' vs generic authentication failure messages).
    Affected if Separate error messages are returned for existing versus non-existing accounts.

You are affected if your SAP Commerce version is com_cloud_2211 or hy_com_2205 AND your registration/login endpoints return distinguishable responses for existing versus non-existing email addresses.
