SAP Student Life Cycle Management (SLcM) fails to conduct proper authorization checks for authenticated users, leading to the potential escalation of privileges. On successful exploitation it could allow an attacker to access and edit non-sensitive report variants that are typically restricted, causing minimal impact on the confidentiality and integrity of the application.
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

Assuming a user with a given identity, authorization is the process of determining whether that user can access a given resource, based on the user’s privileges and any permissions or other access-control specifications that apply to the resource. When access control checks are not applied, users are able to access data or perform actions that they should not be allowed to perform. This can lead to a wide range of problems, including information exposures, denial of service, and arbitrary code execution.
