SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform Authentication Bypass (3320702)

high Nessus Plugin ID 182509

Language:

Synopsis

The SAP business intelligence product installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version of SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability. SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform - version 420, 430, allows an unauthorized attacker who had hijacked a user session, to be able to bypass the victim's old password via brute force, due to unrestricted rate limit for password change functionality. Although the attack has no impact on integrity loss or system availability, this could lead to an attacker to completely takeover a victim's account.

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 advisory.
