Advisory

SAP takes the security of its vast product portfolio very seriously and thus releases security fixes for vulnerabilities reported by external researchers and their customers every second Tuesday of the month.

SAP Note 2842034 was released on 12.11.2019 and deals with "[CVE-2019-0390] Information Disclosure in SAP Data Hub" within SAP Data Hub. We advice you to follow the instructions, to resolve information disclosure with a medium potential for exploitation in component EIM-DH.

According to SAP Security Advisory team a workaround does not exist. It is advisable to implement the correction as part of maintenance.

Information disclosure is when an application fails to properly protect sensitive and confidential information from parties that are not supposed to have access to the subject matter in normal circumstances.
Carefully review every information disclosure vulnerablity in regards to disclosure obligations post-GDPR for ‘Personal data’ under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Risk specification

Under certain conditions SAP Data Hub allows an attacker to access information which would otherwise be restricted.

Solution

The policies "sap.dh.developer" and "sap.dh.metdata" should only be assigned in development systems. For productive usage, it is not recommended to assign these policies to users. Instead, connection access should be whitelisted by 1. creation of a policy that provides access to a particular connection and 2. assigning that policy to users who are allowed to access it.

We do not disclose zero-day vulnerabilities unless a security patch has been made available to the public. In such case, the platform only provides details on which version or signature updates are available within the SecurityBridge platform in order to monitor or measure the vulnerability.

In accordance with SAP guidelines, SecurityBridge only discloses issues where the fixing security note has been released.
