“SAP Business One installation – version 10.0, does not perform proper authentication and authorization checks for SMB shared folder.” reads the advisory. “As a result, any malicious user can read and write to the SMB shared folder. Additionally, the files in the folder can be executed or be used by the installation process leading to considerable impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.”
The second Hot News is an update to a Security Note released on September 2023 Patch Day, the issue tracked as CVE-2023-40309 (CVSS score 9.8) is a missing authorization check in SAP CommonCryptoLib
“SAP CommonCryptoLib does not perform necessary authentication checks, which may result in missing or wrong authorization checks for an authenticated user, resulting in escalation of privileges.” reads the advisory. “Depending on the application and the level of privileges acquired, an attacker could abuse functionality restricted to a particular user group as well as read, modify or delete restricted data.”
