Pathlock TDnR - User Authorization Buffer Manipulation

Back


Id	2a3b4c5d-6e7f-4a0b-8c1d-2e3f4a5b6c72
Rulename	Pathlock TDnR - User Authorization Buffer Manipulation
Description	Detects unauthorized manipulations of the SAP user authorization buffer (USRBF2), forwarded by Pathlock Threat Detection and Response. Direct manipulation of the authorization buffer bypasses the normal role/profile assignment process and can grant arbitrary privileges to any user without leaving a trace in standard authorization management logs.
Severity	High
