Description

Symptom

An authenticated user can use functions of CA-GTF-WFM to which access should be restricted. This may result in an escalation of privileges.

Solution

Implement the following correction instructions.

Reason and prerequisites

CA-GTF-WFM does not contain required checks against a positive set of allowed functions (i.e., whitelist) during the execution of these functions. This is necessary to verify that authenticated users are permitted to access these functions. The absence of this check may lead to undesired system behavior.
