SAP Note 2913293

SAP security note 2913293, "[CVE-2020-6254] Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP Enterprise Threat Detection", is a note. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.

Description

Symptom

SAP Enterprise Threat Detection does not sufficiently encode error pages in case of errors, resulting in a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Some well-known impacts of XSS vulnerability are:

  • Non-permanently deface or modify displayed content from a website
  • Steal authentication information of the user, such as data relating to their current session
  • Impersonate the user and access all information with the same rights as the target user

Solution

The XSS vulnerability has been fixed by output encoding of the error response pages. The fix has been made available with the Support Packages and Patches referenced by this SAP Security Note.

Reason and prerequisites

The error response pages were not properly encoded in case of errors, allowing XSS payload reflecting in the response.

CVSS

Score 6.1 Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Affected components

  • BC-SEC-ETD (SAP Enterprise Threat Detection)
