Unauthorized modification of displayed content-ISpeakAdapter, SAP security note 1442517

SAP Note 1442517

SAP security note 1442517, "Unauthorized modification of displayed content-ISpeakAdapter". Below are the symptom and the SAP recommended solution.

Description

Symptom

ISpeakAdapter 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 the patch corresponding to your release.

Reason and prerequisites

ISpeakAdapter 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 web site.

Reflected 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 application’s security could be fully compromised.

CVSS

Score 4.3 Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
