SAP Security Note
High priority
SAP security note 2168349, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content in InfoView", is a program error note released on 08.12.2015. Below are the symptom, SAP recommended solution and CVSS assessment for this vulnerability.
Description
Symptom
InfoView 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
The issue has been fixed in the patches listed in the "Support Package Patches" section below.
For Business Intelligence Platform maintenance schedule and strategy, see the Knowledge Base Article 2144559 in the References section.
Reason and prerequisites
The error.jsp page within InfoView 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.
CVSS
Score 4.3 Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
