Description

AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
BPC SmartVista 2's SVFE module has improper access control allowing normal users to access admin-only page, leading to information disclosure.
Vulnerability
BPC SmartVista 2's SVFE module fails to enforce access controls on SVFE2/pages/finadmin/currconvrate/currconvrate.jsf, allowing normal users to access an admin-only page. This occurs in version 2 of the SVFE front-end [1].
Exploitation
An attacker with a valid normal user session can modify the session identifier to an admin session ID (or simply access the URL with a normal session) to reach the restricted page, as demonstrated in the proof of concept [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to unauthorized information disclosure of currency conversion rates and potentially other admin data [1]. The vulnerability does not allow code execution [1].
Mitigation
No official patch has been announced as of the public disclosure date (31 March 2019). The vendor was notified on 17 June 2018, but no fix is yet available [1]. Organizations should restrict network access to the SVFE module or implement compensating controls.
