Description

Symptom

A malicious user can exploit the function module ISU_CRM_IL_REMOTE_CUST_READ and use specially crafted inputs to modify, issue, or delete data.

Solution

Reason and prerequisites

The code composes an SQL statement that contains strings that can be altered by a malicious user to gain control of the content of a partial string. The resulting total statement can be manipulated, and therefore, all of the SQL commands can be executed with the rights of the database user who is logged on.

Affected components

  • IS-UT
