High priority
SAP security note 1674366, "Unauthorized mod. of displayed content in BSP CRM_PS_SOA", is a program error note released on 08.05.2012. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and the affected software components.
Description
Symptom
The component CRM_PS_SOA can be abused by a malicious user, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization and potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.
Solution
Apply the note with the Note Assistant!
Reason and prerequisites
Pages within the component CRM_PS_SOA do not sufficiently encode output 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. In the case of an administrator being impersonated, a full compromise of the application’s security may occur.
