Dear VulDB Team,
I would like to report a potential inconsistency regarding the CPE reference sap:sql_anywhere_monitor.
I have checked the official NIST CPE dictionary (https://nvd.nist.gov/products/cpe) and could not find any entry matching sap:sql_anywhere_monitor.
However, I do find sap:sql_anywhere, which appears to be the correct and recognized CPE for SAP SQL Anywhere.
Could you please verify whether sap:sql_anywhere_monitor is a valid CPE identifier or if it should be corrected to sap:sql_anywhere in your database?
Thank you for your support and for maintaining the quality of your vulnerability data.
Best regards,
