PriorityCorrection with high priority
StatusReleased for Customer

Description

Symptom

CRM-IPS-BTX can be abused by a malicious user, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization, and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.

Solution

Please apply SAP Note 1690738 or import the changes via the relevant support package.

Reason and prerequisites

BSP Pages: session_buffered_frame.htm and session_single_frame.htm (from BSP application CRMCMP_GRM_GPM) within CRM-IPS-BTX do not sufficiently encode OUTPUT parameters, resulting in a cross-site scripting issue.

Cross-site scripting can be used to steal another user's authentication information, such as data relating to their current session. A malicious user 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.
