QID 980195: Nodejs (npm) Security Update for @sap-cloud-sdk/core (GHSA-gp2f-254m-rh32)

Security update has been released for @sap-cloud-sdk/core to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This affects applications on SAP Business Technology Platform that use the SAP Cloud SDK and enabled caching of destinations.
In some cases, when user information was missing, destinations were cached without user information, allowing other users to retrieve the same destination with its permissions.
By default, destination caching is disabled. If it is enabled the maximum lifetime is 5 minutes which limits the attack vector.

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.9 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Low - 2.6 severity.

Solution

The problem was fixed by #1769 and #1770. The security for caching has been increased. The changes are released in version 1.52.0.Workaround:
Disable destination caching (it is disabled by default).
