Synopsis

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The remote SAP NetWeaver ABAP server may be affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation and encoding of untrusted data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to access or modify sensitive information within the user's browser session.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
