SAP security note 1658926, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content in CRM CM", is a note released on 08.05.2012. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.

Description

Symptom

CRM Content Management 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

Implement the correction in this note.

Reason and prerequisites

CRM_BSP_LIBRARY_CRM within CRM Content Management does not sufficiently encode input 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 Web site.

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.
