The Service Layer in SAP Business One, allows attackers to potentially gain unauthorized access and impersonate other users in the application to perform unauthorized actions. Due to the improper session management, the attackers can elevate themselves to higher privilege and can read, modify and/or write new data. To gain authenticated sessions of other users, the attacker must invest considerable time and effort. This vulnerability has a high impact on the confidentiality and integrity of the application with no effect on the availability of the application.
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.
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.
