Description

Symptom

Potential Directory Traversal vulnerabilities exist in the following transactions:

  • /SCWM/SBUP (Report /SCWM/TLAGP_UPLOAD)
  • /SCWM/SRTUP (Report /SCWM/TLAGPS_UPLOAD)
  • /SCWM/ISU (Report /SCWM/R_INITIALSTOCKUPLOAD)
  • /SCWM/MS_RESULT (Report /SCWM/R_MS_RESULT_READ), relevant from release 5.1 onwards
  • /SCWM/ELS_UPLOAD (Report /SCWM/ELS_UPLOAD), relevant from release 5.1 onwards

Solution

  • For Release EWM 5.0 (SCM 5): only local filenames can be used in the above transactions; implement the correction instruction to disable access to the application server; handling of logical filenames is not necessary.
  • For Release SCM 5.1 and above (SCMEWM 5.1+): refer to Note 1497003 for additional information and instructions; corrections from this note are a prerequisite for implementing this note.

Reason and prerequisites

The programs contained in the correction instructions have vulnerabilities that allow a malicious user to potentially read arbitrary files on the remote server, potentially disclosing confidential information.
