SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 1694078, "Unauthorized Modification of Displayed Content in PLM-CFO", is a program error note released on May 8, 2012. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.
Description
Symptom
The PLM-CFO can be abused by a malicious user, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.
Solution
Implement the program corrections as detailed in the Correction Instructions for CPROJECTS and CPRXRPM in your system.
Reason and prerequisites
Pages within the PLM-CFO do not sufficiently encode input and output parameters, resulting in a reflected cross site scripting issue. A reflected XSS attack can be used to non-permanently deface or modify displayed content from a website or to steal user authentication information. This can lead to impersonation of users, including administrators, potentially compromising the application’s security.
Affected components
- CPROJECTS: 310_620 to 310_640
- CPRXRPM: 400, 450_700, 500_702
