SAP Note 1490232

SAP security note 1490232, "Unauthorized modification of displ.content in WFF_ERROR". Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.

  • Modify Content: Non-permanently deface or alter content displayed on a website.
  • Steal Authentication Information: Capture user session data to impersonate users, leading to potential full compromise, especially if an administrator’s credentials are stolen.
