SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 1922183, "Modification of displayed content in XI SOAP Adapter", is a program error note released on 11.11.2014. Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.
Description
Symptom
XI SOAP Adapter 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 SAP Note.
Reason and prerequisites
The XI SOAP Adapter does 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 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.
