Description

Symptom

An authenticated user can use functionality of a special and deprecated AFX-Workbench report to which access should be restricted. This can potentially result in an escalation of privileges.

Solution

The deprecated AFX-Workbench report has been invalidated.

Reason and prerequisites

The deprecated AFX-Workbench report lacks permission checks for an authenticated user’s authorization to access some of its functionality. This may result in undesired system behavior.
