PriorityHigh priority
StatusReleased for Customer

Description

Symptom

BC-SRV-ALV 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.

Solution

Implement the changes specified in the correction instructions using transaction SNOTE or by importing the relevant Support Package.

Reason and prerequisites

The program code contains the ability to define and execute user-defined code that changes the behavior of the system. 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 or delete data
  • Modify the system’s output
  • Create new users with higher privileges
