What this finding means

Fiori 403 Root-Cause Doctor reports this finding with the default severity “Critical”.

About the engine: PFCG role, auth objects (S_START, S_SERVICE) & ICF catalog auditor

How to fix it

Fetch a token with 'X-CSRF-Token: Fetch' on a GET/HEAD, then send the token and session cookies with the POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE; check that proxies / Web Dispatcher keep the session cookie.

How ERP Preflight detects it

The analysis is deterministic: the same exported files and the same knowledge snapshot always produce the same findings. No SAP system connection is required — you upload exports.

What to export

Evidence
Each finding points to the artifact path, line and column, the code snippet and the SHA-256 of the uploaded file. Findings without such a pointer are demoted to confidence UNKNOWN.
Confidence
The verdict rests on your artifacts only. Each finding carries a confidence class (VERIFIED, RULE_DERIVED, INFERRED or UNKNOWN) that shows how strong the evidence is.
