SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform XSS (3266006)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 170269

Language:

Synopsis

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability

Description

The version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.2 SP9 P12, 4.3 SP2 P9 or 4.3 SP3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. Due to improper input sanitization of user-controlled input in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform CMC application - versions 420, and 430, an attacker with basic user-level privileges can modify/upload crystal reports containing a malicious payload. Once these reports are viewable, anyone who opens those reports would be susceptible to stored XSS attacks. As a result of the attack, information maintained in the victim's web browser can be read, modified, and sent to the attacker.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

See vendor advisories.
