SAP Approuter Session Context Bypass Vulnerability

Executive Summary

SAP Approuter fails to consistently verify the integrity of certain session-related request headers under specific conditions. An attacker with low privileges could craft a request that bypasses this check and loads another user's session context. This requires the attacker to have previously observed matching session values out-of-band, making the attack complex.
