Description

Symptom

SAP Note 2900374 addresses a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Business Server Pages (BSP) application CRM_BSP_FRAME within SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP. The application does not sufficiently encode user-controlled inputs, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts.

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to:

  • Deface or modify displayed content on the website.
  • Steal authentication information, such as session data.
  • Impersonate users and access information with the same privileges as the target user.

Solution

The vulnerability has been addressed by properly encoding URL parameters to prevent successful XSS attacks. The issue is fixed in the patches listed in the “Support Packages & Patches” section of the SAP Note.
