CVE-2026-44769
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 · uneditedSAP S/4HANA application Project Management (PPM-PRO) allows an attacker with high privileges to execute crafted database queries, exposing the backend database. This results in low impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity and 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 · moderate confidenceSAP S/4HANA Project Management (PPM-PRO) contains a database query injection vulnerability allowing authenticated attackers with high privileges to execute crafted queries against the backend database, resulting in exposure of database contents.

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.
-
Confirm SAP S/4HANA installationExecute SAP transaction SM51 or use SAP MCOD to verify the SAP S/4HANA system is deployed. Query the system version via transaction SWCO or SAP S/4HANA cockpit.Affected if SAP S/4HANA is present in the environment
-
Identify PPM-PRO module usageExecute SAP transaction SE11 or SE16 to query table USOBX or USOBH for PPM-PRO related entries. Check transaction code FPB1 (Project Management) or search for PPM-related customizing tables.Affected if PPM-PRO module is active or configured in the SAP system
-
Review PPM-PRO user role assignmentsExecute SAP transaction PFCG or SUIM to review roles assigned to users. Filter for roles containing PPM-PRO authorizations (object S_PHCD_PPM). Check for high-privilege roles.Affected if Users have high-privilege roles with PPM-PRO authorizations
-
Inspect database access logs for suspicious queriesExecute transaction ST03N or review SAP system logs (transaction SM37) and database audit logs. Look for unexpected or unauthorized SELECT statements against PPM-PRO tables from PPM users.Affected if Unusual SQL queries or unexpected database access patterns are detected in logs
The environment is affected if SAP S/4HANA with PPM-PRO is installed and users with high-privilege PPM-PRO roles exist, as the vulnerability requires authenticated high-privilege access to exploit the injection flaw.

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 dataApply the relevant SAP security patch for this vulnerability and implement principle of least privilege for PPM-PRO user roles to restrict database-level access.
