Description

Symptom

A malicious user can execute functions in BSP applications without authentication and authorization.

Solution

Apply the mentioned support package or implement the correction via SAP Note Assistant.

Reason and prerequisites

BSP applications ITMVC2 and JSD_TEST execute certain functions by referencing specific URLs. When a malicious user tricks an authenticated user’s browser into making a request containing a specific URL and parameters, the function executes with the authenticated user’s rights. This can be achieved through a cross-site scripting attack or by presenting a crafted link to the victim.
