SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 1437894, "Potential disclosure of authentication information", is a program error note released on 11.05.2010. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.
Description
Symptom
The POS Workbench / POS Data Management can be abused by a malicious user allowing them to obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.
Solution
Implement the correction as described in the correction instructions.
Reason and prerequisites
Pages within the sales audit editor do not sufficiently encode input parameters, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting issue. Reflected cross-site scripting can be used to steal another user’s authentication information such as data relating to their current session. It can be used to non-permanently deface or modify displayed content from a website. An attacker who gains access to this data may use this to impersonate the user and access all information with the same rights as the target user. In case of an administrator being impersonated, a full compromise of the application’s security may occur.
