The vulnerability addressed is information disclosure within SAP GUI / Frontend.

Carefully review every information disclosure vulnerablity in regards to disclosure obligations post-GDPR for ‘Personal data’ under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Risk specification

Microsoft Edge browser extension SAP GUI connector for Microsoft Edge allows an unauthenticated attacker to access confidential data.

Solution

Upgrade to version 3.0 "SAP GUI connector for Microsoft Edge" or current versions of Microsoft Edge (118.x, 119.x) will update the extension automatically. Although an alternative solution exists, it is advisable to apply the correction! This is the workaround, which was suggested by the SAP security experts: "The extension by default uses the settings: Site access - Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit: “On all sites”. As a workaround in the settings of this browser extension one can restrict the "Site Access" setting to "On specific sites" only. This requires the end user to create an allowlist containing only the domains, which shall be used for out-of-the-box SSO from SAP GUI for Windows into Microsoft Edge.".

The advisory is valid for

SAP_GUI_EDGE_CONNECTOR 1.0
