CVE-2026-44751
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 · uneditedApplication server ABAP does not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user allowing an attacker to execute a report generation command which could overwrite information belonging to another user, resulting in escalation of privileges. This has high impact on integrity with low impact on availability and no 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 confidenceThe vulnerability exists in SAP ABAP Application Server where missing authorization checks allow an authenticated user to execute report generation commands that can overwrite information belonging to other users, leading to privilege escalation.

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 SAP ABAP Application Server installationRun transaction SM51 in SAP GUI to list installed SAP application server instances and note the ABAP version releaseAffected if SAP ABAP Application Server is running and the installed version falls within the affected range (compare your version to the documented affected versions for this CVE)
-
Verify report generation transaction authorizationUse transaction SU53 immediately after a user attempts to run report generation (e.g., SE38, RSRT) to check authorization failures, or review role authorization data using transaction PFCGAffected if Users with report execution permissions can run reports without proper authorization object checks (S_RS_REPORT or similar ABAP authorization objects are missing or set to unrestricted values)
-
Inspect user role assignments for report privilegesRun transaction SUIM and filter by role, then check roles containing report generation transactions (SE38, SA38, RSRT) to identify overly permissive assignmentsAffected if Roles grant report execution authorizations without proper restriction to specific reports or users, allowing unauthorized access to other users data
-
Review report generation logs for unauthorized accessCheck transaction SLG1 (Object: RS, Subobject: REPORT) or use transaction ST03N to review audit logs for report executions that may indicate cross-user data accessAffected if Logs show report executions accessing data or overwriting outputs belonging to other users without proper authorization
-
Test for authorization bypass in report executionAs a low-privilege authenticated user, attempt to execute report generation via SE38/RSRT and specify output destinations or variants belonging to different usersAffected if The system allows execution and overwrites or accesses data outside the authorized user scope without throwing authorization errors (check with SU53 after attempt)
Your environment is affected if SAP ABAP Application Server is running with a version within the affected range and report generation transactions allow execution without proper ABAP authorization object checks, enabling users to access or overwrite other users data.
