Detalle completo

El detalle completo de las notas más relevantes es el siguiente (en inglés):

1. Update – Security updates for the browser control Google Chromium delivered with SAP Business Client (2622660): This security note addresses multiple vulnerabilities in the 3rd party web browser control Chromium, which can be used within SAP Business Client. This note will be modified periodically based on web browser updates by the open-source project Chromium. The note priority is based on the highest CVSS score of all the vulnerabilities fixed in the latest browser release. If the SAP Business Client release is not updated to the latest patch level, displaying web pages in SAP Business Client via this open-source browser control might lead to different vulnerabilities like memory corruption, Information Disclosure and the like. The solution will be to update the SAP Business Client patch to the newest one, which contains the most current stable major release of the Chromium browser control, which passed the SAP internal quality measurements of SAP Business Client. CVSS v3 Base Score: 10 / 10 (Multiple CVE´s).
2. Privilege Escalation vulnerability in SAP Start Service (3285757): An attacker authenticated as a non-admin user with local access to a server port assigned to the SAP Host Agent Service can submit a specially crafted webservice request with an operating system command which will be executed with administrator privileges.  The OS command can read or modify any user or system data and can make the system unavailable. CVSS v3 Base Score: 8,8 / 10 [CVE-2023-24523].
3. Update – Code Injection vulnerability in SAP BASIS (3268172): Due to unrestricted scope of the RFC function module, SAP BASIS allows an authenticated non-administrator attacker to access a system class and execute any of its public methods with parameters provided by the attacker. On successful exploitation the attacker can have full control of the system to which the class belongs, causing high impact on integrity of the application. The update adds that this note is also relevant if you do not use a HANA database on your system. The correction instruction in this note simply deactivates the obsolete but critical code.CVSS v3 Base Score: 8,8 / 10 [CVE-2022-41264].
4. Information disclosure vulnerability in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform (3263135): SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform allows an authenticated attacker to access sensitive information which is otherwise restricted. On successful exploitation, there could be a high impact on confidentiality and limited impact on integrity of the application. CVSS v3 Base Score: 8,5 / 10 [CVE-2023-0020].
5. Update – Privilege escalation vulnerability in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (3271091): In some SAP standard roles in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation, a transaction code reserved for customer is used. By implementing such transaction code, a malicious user may execute unauthorized transaction functionality. Under specific circumstances, a successful attack could enable an adversary to escalate their privileges to be able to read, change or delete system data. The update simply adds minor text changes. No changes requiring customer intervention have been made. CVSS v3 Base Score: 8,5 / 10 [CVE-2022-41268].
6. Unrestricted Upload of File in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (CMC) (3256787): SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (CMC) allows an authenticated admin user to upload malicious code that can be executed by the application over the network. On successful exploitation, attacker can perform operations that may completely compromise the application causing high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability of the application. The note contains a workaround. CVSS v3 Base Score: 8,4 / 10  [CVE-2023-24530].
