SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 1828991, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content in RWB", is a note released on 08.10.2013. Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.
Description
Symptom
PI Runtime Workbench (RWB) can be abused by attackers, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization, and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.
Solution
This issue is fixed with the Support Packages and Patches of the Software Components referenced by this note in the section ‘SP Patch Level’.
Reason and prerequisites
Web pages within ‘Process Integration Runtime Workbench’ do not sufficiently encode URL 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.
