Description

Symptom

A malicious user can trigger functionality in the business communication area without authentication and authorization.

Solution

  • Ensure that Note 1481392 is implemented in your system.
  • Implement the corrections using the Note Assistant or import the current Support Package.
  • Execute the report ITS_XSRF_PARAM_BC_SRV_COM in your system.

Reason and prerequisites

Specified ICAs execute certain functions through referencing specific URLs. When an attacker tricks an authenticated user's browser into making a request containing a certain URL and specific parameters, the functions are executed in the business communication area with the rights of the user. The attacker may use a Cross Site Scripting attack to trigger the exploit, or present a link for the victim to click.
