Description

Symptom

CRM-ANA-SRV-BW can be abused by an attacker, allowing them to modify displayed application content without authorization, and to potentially obtain authentication information from other legitimate users.

Solution

Apply this note or import the changes via the relevant support package. Remove the SICF entry and deactivate the corresponding handler class.

Reason and prerequisites

ICF service CRM_OIS within CRM-ANA-SRV-BW does not sufficiently encode output parameters, resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting issue. This can allow attackers to deface content or steal user authentication information, potentially compromising the security of the application.
