ITSmobile XSS fix for RFID service, SAP security note 1589347

SAP security note 1589347, “ITSmobile: XSS fix for RFID service”, is a program error note released on 14.02.2012. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.

Description

Symptom

The ITS service RFID 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

Apply the relevant support package.

Reason and prerequisites

Pages within the ITS do 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 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.
