SAP DB / MaxDB WebDBM Multiple Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 36072

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a script that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote web server contains the WebDBM script, a component of SAP DB / MaxDB.

The version of this script found on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to its 'Database', 'User', and 'Password' parameters before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Solution

The vendor reportedly recommends replacing WebDBM with 'Database Studio'.
