Description
Symptom
Input fields in transaction BAPI can be abused by a malicious user, allowing them to execute unwanted functions without authorization.
Solution
Implement the correction instructions using the Note Assistant or import the relevant Support Package.
Reason and prerequisites
Manipulating input values may cause a cross-site scripting problem or an SMB relay. Therefore, a malicious user may use this to impersonate the user on the front-end system and access all information with the same rights as the target user. If an administrator is impersonated, the security of the application may be fully compromised.
