Description

Symptom

Card Management contains code that permits the execution of arbitrary program code of the user's choice. An attacker can therefore control the behavior of the system or potentially escalate privileges by executing malicious code without having their own legitimate credentials.

Reason and prerequisites

The program code allows the definition and execution of user-defined code that changes the system's behavior. A valid and authenticated user is required. Depending on the code, the user can:

  • Inject and run their own code
  • Obtain additional information that should not be displayed
  • Modify data, delete data
  • Modify the system's output
  • Create new users with higher privileges
  • Perform a denial of service attack

Solution

Import the relevant Support Package for your release. Use transaction SNOTE to implement the attached correction instructions in advance. No manual tasks are required.

Affected components

  • FSAPPL versions 100, 200, 300, 400
  • BANK-TRBK version 40
