Description

Symptom

An attacker can change stored data by making specific entries in the report /IBS/MRB_CUST_DUPLICATE.

Solution

After you implement this note, check whether the whole source code has been turned into a comment. Implement the attached source code corrections.

Reason and prerequisites

The problem is caused by an SQL injection vulnerability. In the source code, an SQL statement is composed out of strings. An attacker can gain control over the content of a substring. As a result, the attacker can manipulate the resulting complete statement and can modify database contents. Therefore, the report must be deactivated.
