SAP Note 2574897

SAP security note 2574897, "Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP CRM WebClient UI", is a note. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.

Description

Symptom

SAP CRM WebClient UI does not sufficiently encode user-controlled inputs, resulting in a DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Some well-known impacts of XSS vulnerability include:

Non-permanently defacing or modifying displayed content from a website

Stealing authentication information of the user, such as data relating to their current session

Impersonating the user and accessing all information with the same rights as the target user

Unauthorized execution of commands

Solution

Input encoding and validation have been added. Please implement the solution below or install the equivalent Support Package.

Reason and prerequisites

CRM WebClient UI does not encode or validate untrusted input. The attacker needs to trick an already authenticated user into visiting a prepared website to launch the attack.

CVSS

Score 6.1 Vector: CVSS:/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Affected components
