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

The vulnerability addressed is missing authorization check within ABAP.

Missing authority checks are still the most common security defect related to authorizations in custom code. Since SAP uses an explicit authorization model, an authority checks must be coded in order to be executed. If an explicit check is not coded, all users have access. This type of vulnerability not only exists in SAP standard it also exists in customer coding. Check your custom developments for vulnerabilities that pose a risk to your systems. SecurityBridge helps detect code vulnerabilities before they are implemented in production.

Risk specification

Missing authorization check in Cash Management in SAP S/4 HANA escalate the privileges of an attacker with an authenticated user. By taking advantage of this vulnerability the attacker can add notes to requests marked as 'completed' affecting the integrity of the application. Confidentiality and Availability are not impacted.

Solution

The affected functions have been updated, enabling the enforcement of checks and restricting access. Consequently, the attacker is unable to change the status of the request
