SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 1688421, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content in BSP apps.", is a program error note released on 27.07.2012. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.
Description
Symptom
The BSP applications SSFDEMODIGSIG and SSFDEMODIGSIG2 can be abused by an attacker, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization, and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.
Solution
Apply correction.
Reason and prerequisites
Pages within the BSP applications SSFDEMODIGSIG and SSFDEMODIGSIG2 do not sufficiently encode output parameters, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting issue. A reflected cross-site scripting attack can be used to non-permanently deface or modify displayed content from a website. Reflected cross-site scripting can be used to steal another user’s authentication information, such as data relating to their current session. An attacker who gains access to this data may use it to impersonate the user and access all information with the same rights as the target user. If an administrator is impersonated, the security of the application may be fully compromised.
Affected components
- SAP_BASIS 620 to 640
- SAP_BASIS 700 to 702
- SAP_BASIS 710 to 730
- SAP_BASIS 731
