Under certain conditions Statutory Reports in SAP S/4 HANA allows an attacker with basic privileges to access information which would otherwise be restricted. The vulnerability could expose internal user data that should remain confidential. It does not impact the integrity and availability of the application

Weakness

The product’s intended functionality exposes information to certain actors in accordance with the developer’s security policy, but this information is regarded as sensitive according to the intended security policies of other stakeholders such as the product’s administrator, users, or others whose information is being processed.

Extended Description

When handling information, the developer must consider whether the information is regarded as sensitive by different stakeholders, such as users or administrators. Each stakeholder effectively has its own intended security policy that the product is expected to uphold. When a developer does not treat that information as sensitive, this can introduce a vulnerability that violates the expectations of the product’s users.
