Improper session management when using SAP Cloud Platform 2.0 (Connectivity Service and Cloud Connector). Under certain conditions, data of some other user may be shown or modified when using an application built on top of SAP Cloud Platform.

Weakness

Authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Cloud_platform Sap 2.0 (including) 2.0 (including)

Extended Description

Such a scenario is commonly observed when:

In the generic exploit of session fixation vulnerabilities, an attacker creates a new session on a web application and records the associated session identifier. The attacker then causes the victim to associate, and possibly authenticate, against the server using that session identifier, giving the attacker access to the user’s account through the active session.
