Description

Symptom

An authenticated user can use functions of CA-LT-CNV (software component DMIS) to which access should be restricted. This may result in an escalation of privileges.

Solution

Implement the correction instruction in all affected systems (i.e., all systems that contain the software component DMIS).

Reason and prerequisites

CA-LT-CNV does not contain authorization checks for verifying an authenticated user’s permissions to access certain functions. This may lead to undesired system behavior.
