Missing Authorization check in Discrete Industries and Mill Products, SAP security note 2480837

SAP Note 2480837

SAP security note 2480837, "Missing Authorization check in Discrete Industries and Mill Products". Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.

Description

Symptom

Discrete Industries and Mill Products (IS-A, IS-HT, IS-ADEC-MEB) do not perform necessary authorization checks for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges.

Some well-known impacts of Missing Authorization check are:

  • Abuse functionality restricted to a particular user group
  • Read, modify, or delete restricted data

Solution

  • The affected functions have now been enforced to properly check access restrictions.
  • Please implement the correction instructions.
  • For certain areas like IS-HT and IS-A (XLO and SWP), the corrections are valid only for ERP Business Suite as they have been deprecated in S/4HANA.

Reason and prerequisites

Pre-requisite: the business function DIMP_SDUD is activated.

CVSS

Score 6.5 Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L
