Description

Symptom

This SAP Security Note describes how to reduce the risk of possible cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks in cFolders.

In general, all Web Servers that accept input parameters via HTTP requests, dynamically generate HTML pages based on these inputs, and then return this dynamically generated content as a response to the client (browser) are potentially vulnerable to "Cross Site Scripting" attacks.

Under some circumstances, JavaScript code can be injected with a URL as a parameter. This can cause abrupt behavior in the cFolders application on the pages me_ov.htm and col_table_filter.htm.

Solution

Please apply the correction instructions to resolve the issue.

Reason and prerequisites
