Description

Symptom

A malicious user can exploit ProjectMarket and use specially crafted inputs to execute arbitrary database commands to retrieve, modify, or remove data persisted by the system.

Solution

The affected function modules were deactivated. Use transaction SNOTE to implement the corrections.

Reason and prerequisites

The problem is caused by an SQL injection vulnerability. The code composes an SQL statement including strings that can be altered by a malicious user. The manipulated SQL statement can then be used to retrieve additional information from the database or to potentially modify it.

Affected components

  • SAP_APPL: Versions 600, 602, 603, 604, 605
  • PI: From 2004_1_31I to 2004_1_500
