Five of the Security Notes addressed missing authorization checks in SAP products such as Treasury and Risk Management, Solution Manager and ABAP managed systems, dbpool administration, and Enterprise Financial Services.
Five other Security Notes addressed information disclosure flaws in SAP products such as BusinessObjects and Solution Manager.
One of the Security Notes released this month has a priority rating of High, while the remaining 12 are rated Medium, SAP notes in an advisory.
The most important of the Security Notes released this month resolves a privilege escalation in SAP Identity Management REST Interface Version 2. Rated High priority and tracked as CVE-2019-0301, the vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.4.

To these Security Notes, three other Notes released after last month’s Patch Tuesday should be added, including two rated High priority, Onapsis, a firm that specializes in securing SAP and Oracle products, reveals.
The first of the two vulnerabilities is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in S/4HANA for customer management (CVSS score 8.5), which “could lead to client-side attacks, including defacing web content for a specific user, or even stealing authentication data from the victim,” Onapsis says.
The second is a missing authorization check in SAP Funding Management (CVSS score 8.4).
