Description

Symptom

A malicious user can exploit IS-U-IDE and use specially crafted inputs to modify database commands, resulting in the retrieval of additional information persisted by the system.

Solution

Implement the correction instructions or import the corresponding Support Package. Also, the corresponding note 1599570 needs to be implemented on CRM.
