The Runtime Workbench (RWB) of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - version SAP_XITOOL 7.50, does not perform authentication checks for certain functionalities that require user identity. An unauthenticated user might access technical data about the product status and its configuration. The vulnerability does not allow access to sensitive information or administrative functionalities. On successful exploitation an attacker can cause limited impact on confidentiality and availability of the application.

CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.5. CVSS Attack Vector: network. CVSS Attack Complexity: low. CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L).

Demo Examples

Missing Authentication for Critical Function

CWE-306

In the following Java example the method createBankAccount is used to create a BankAccount object for a bank management application.


               
}
return account;

However, there is no authentication mechanism to ensure that the user creating this bank account object has the authority to create new bank accounts. Some authentication mechanisms should be used to verify that the user has the authority to create bank account objects.

The following Java code includes a boolean variable and method for authenticating a user. If the user has not been authenticated then the createBankAccount will not create the bank account object.


               
}// authenticate user,// if user is authenticated then set variable to true// otherwise set variable to false
...
return account;
account.setBalance(balance);
