Description

Symptom

Users utilizing an Offline OData application with Offline OData-supplied delta tokens may occasionally receive data values belonging to different users. This occurs when multiple users synchronize simultaneously, resulting in the retrieval of entities with identical key values but differing property values.

The vulnerability allows unintended information disclosure due to the assumption of globally unique entity IDs in multi-threaded access scenarios, potentially exposing user data to other users.

Solution

SAP has updated the delta calculation algorithm to no longer assume globally unique entity IDs. The new implementation is thread-safe, preventing the aforementioned data disclosure.
