SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform XSS (3251447)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 170271

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 P11. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. In SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Web Intelligence user interface) - version 420, some calls return json with 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. On successful exploitation an attacker can cause limited impact on confidentiality and integrity of the application.

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.
