Two critical vulnerabilities
Of the two critical vulnerabilities addressed in the patch day, the more severe is an authentication bypass flaw (CVE-2024-41730) with a CVSS score of 9.8/10 affecting SAP’s BusinessObjects business intelligence platform, while the other is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in applications built with SAP Build Apps.
CVE-2024-41730, as described by SAP, stems from a missing authentication check in the SAP BusinessObjects business intelligence platform. “In SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform, if Single Signed On is enabled on Enterprise authentication, an unauthorized user can get a logon token using a REST endpoint,” the ERP vendor said in a security advisory.
The attacker can fully compromise the system resulting in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, SAP added.
