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 Shared Service Framework does not perform necessary authorization check for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges. On successful exploitation, an attacker can cause a high impact on confidentiality 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 · moderate confidence

SAP Shared Service Framework fails to perform necessary authorization checks for authenticated users, allowing privilege escalation. An authenticated attacker can leverage this to access confidential data beyond their authorized permissions.

MitigationApply the relevant SAP security patch for this vulnerability and conduct a comprehensive review of authorization configurations within the Shared Service Framework to ensure all sensitive operations enforce proper privilege validation.

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 installed Shared Service Framework version
    Access SAP transaction code SAINT or SUMA to view installed software components. Look for component sap_bs_fnd in the component list and note its version number.
    Affected if The version matches exactly sap_bs_fnd_702, sap_bs_fnd_731, sap_bs_fnd_746, sap_bs_fnd_747, or sap_bs_fnd_748
  2. Verify Shared Service Framework component is deployed
    Check SAP transaction code SPAM or SPAU to confirm the Shared Service Framework package is installed in your SAP system.
    Affected if The component sap_bs_fnd is present in the installed components list with a vulnerable version number from step 1
  3. Confirm authenticated user access exists
    Review SAP transaction code SU01 or use directory role assignment to verify that non-privileged users have authenticated access to the SAP system.
    Affected if There are authenticated users with standard or limited roles beyond the system administrator context
  4. Inspect authorization configuration for Shared Service Framework
    Use SAP transaction code SUIM or PFCG to examine authorization roles assigned to the Shared Service Framework. Check role menus for access to confidential data operations.
    Affected if Roles assigned to authenticated users grant access to Shared Service Framework data access functions without proper privilege validation checks

Your environment is affected if the installed SAP Shared Service Framework component version is one of sap_bs_fnd_702, sap_bs_fnd_731, sap_bs_fnd_746, sap_bs_fnd_747, or sap_bs_fnd_748 and the framework is accessible to authenticated users.
