Unauthorized modification of displayed content in SDIC, SAP security note 2249364

SAP security note 2249364, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content in SDIC". Below are the symptom and SAP recommended solution.

Description

Symptom

SDIC 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

Please apply the patch attached to this message.

Reason and prerequisites

The SDIC support UI 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.
