SAP security note 1498968, “Workflow definition: Missing authorization check.” Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.
Description
Symptom
An authenticated user can use functionality of the workflow definition tools to which access should be restricted. This can potentially result in an escalation of privileges.
Solution
Import the Support Package or implement the correction instructions. After applying the fix, the authorization object S_DEVELOP is checked in the workflow definition tools.
Reason and prerequisites
The workflow definition tools lack permission checks for an authenticated user’s authorization to access some of its functionality. This may result in undesired system behavior.
