Description

Symptom

An authenticated user can use functions of BPC Web and Web Administration to which access should be restricted. This may result in an escalation of privileges.

Solution

You may choose one of the solutions below:

  • BPC 7.5 NW: upgrade to SP15 or later.
  • BPC 7.5 NW: upgrade to SP14 and apply patch 01 for SP14.
  • BPC 7.5 NW: upgrade to SP13 and apply patch 02 for SP13.
  • BPC 7.0 NW: update to SP13 Patch01.

Reason and prerequisites

BPC Web and BPC Web Administration do not contain authorization checks for checking an authenticated user's authorization to access some of its functions. This may result in undesired system behavior. However, core functions of BPC Web like Live Reporting, BPF, and System Reports are not vulnerable.

CVSS

Score 6.5 Vector: AV:N/AC:L/AU:S/C:P/I:P/A:P
