Description

Symptom

The applications Manage Task Definition, Manage Change Request Task, and Manage Maintenance Notification Task in SAP EHS were found to lack necessary authorization checks for user authentication. This vulnerability allows unauthorized access to perform actions within the system.

Impacts:

  • Malicious use of authorizations and access to functionalities restricted to specific user groups.
  • Ability to read, modify, or delete restricted data.

Solution

The affected functions have been updated to enforce proper access restrictions. Deleting a task definition is now restricted to be performed only via a BOBF action.
