CVE-2026-23689
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 · uneditedDue to an uncontrolled resource consumption (Denial of Service) vulnerability, an authenticated attacker with regular user privileges and network access can repeatedly invoke a remote-enabled function module with an excessively large loop-control parameter. This triggers prolonged loop execution that consumes excessive system resources, potentially rendering the system unavailable. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition that impacts availability, while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.
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 confidenceAn authenticated attacker with regular user privileges can exploit a remote-enabled function module in what appears to be an SAP system by passing an excessively large loop-control parameter. This causes uncontrolled loop execution that consumes excessive CPU and memory resources, resulting in denial of service while confidentiality and integrity remain unaffected.

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.
-
Identify installed SAP product and versionExecute transaction SM51 or use transaction code SE16 to query table CVERS. Check if the system is running SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) and note the exact version number.Affected if The installed version matches 713 or 714 for APO, or 700, 701, 702, or 712 for SCM.
-
Confirm remote function call (RFC) connectivity is enabledUse transaction SM59 to examine RFC destinations. Check if RFC connections of type '3' (R/3 connection) or 'G' (HTTP connection) are configured and active.Affected if RFC destinations are configured and the system accepts remote calls.
-
Locate exposed remote-enabled function modules in APO/SCMUse transaction SE37 or SE80 to search for function modules with attribute 'Remote-Enabled' (check the Remote Module checkbox). Focus on modules in function groups related to APO or SCM components.Affected if Remote-enabled function modules exist in APO or SCM function pools.
-
Audit user authorization for RFC function module executionUse transaction SUIM to query for users with authorization object S_RFC. Check which standard users or service accounts have RFC execute privileges.Affected if Regular (non-privileged) user accounts have RFC execution authorizations.
You are affected if your SAP system runs APO versions 713-714 or SCM versions 700-702/712, has RFC-enabled function modules exposed, and allows authenticated users to trigger remote function calls without strict parameter bounds checking.

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.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation and parameter bounds checking on affected remote-enabled function modules; apply vendor security patches; consider implementing rate limiting or throttling for remote function calls.
