Description

Symptom

In BRMS-CORE, there are issues with the explicit scope declaration of fields, methods, and classes.

An attacker could introduce a new class into the package and access elements that were intended to be hidden.

Solution

Affected components

  • BRMS-CORE Versions: 7.20, 7.30, 7.31
