SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform XSS (3263863)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 171437

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 4.3 SP2 P9, 4.3 SP3 P1 or 4.3 SP4. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. In SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Web Intelligence user interface, some calls return JSON with the wrong content type in the header of the response. As a result, a custom application that calls directly the JSP of Web Intelligence DHTML may be vulnerable to XSS attacks.

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.
