Description

Symptom

Web Dynpro contains source code whose flow logic behaves differently depending on the user who is logged on to the SAP system.

Solution

Import the relevant Support Package or implement the relevant correction instructions.

Reason and prerequisites

The program code contains an explicitly coded user name, whereby the flow logic of the program behaves differently depending on the user who is logged on. Therefore, the user can receive information that cannot actually be seen, for example.

Affected components

  • SAP_BASIS: 700-702 and 710-720
