Description

Symptom

An authenticated user can use functions of ST-PI to which access should be restricted. This may result in an escalation of privileges. This is valid for:

  • ST-PI 2008_1_710
  • ST-PI 2008_1_700
  • ST-PI 2008_1_640
  • ST-PI 2008_1_620

with support package 1 to 6.

Solution

Implement at least Support Package 7 if you are using one of the releases mentioned in the Symptom section to resolve the problem.

Reason and prerequisites

ST-PI does not contain authorization checks for verifying an authenticated user’s authorization to access some of its functions. This may result in undesired system behavior.

CVSS
