Description
Due to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, an authenticated attacker could generate a malicious link and make it publicly accessible. If an authenticated victim accesses this link, the injected input is processed and reflected within the DOM on the client side during page rendering, resulting in the execution of malicious content in the victim's browser context. Successful exploitation could result in a high impact to the confidentiality and a low impact to the integrity of the system, while availability remains unaffected.

AI Analysis

Impact

Affected users who are authenticated in SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP can create malicious URLs that contain injected code. The code is reflected into the Document Object Model when a victim, also authenticated, accesses the link, allowing the attacker to run arbitrary scripts in the victim’s browser. The vulnerability is a classic reflected XSS flaw (CWE‑79) that can compromise confidentiality by stealing user data or credentials, while having a low impact on integrity and no effect on availability.

Affected Systems

SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP. No specific version information is provided.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no known widespread exploitation at this time. The attack requires an authenticated attacker to create the malicious link and a victim user to be authenticated when accessing it, which limits the attack surface but still poses a non‑negligible threat, especially in environments where user credentials are reused or where link sharing is possible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the SAP security patch referenced in SAP Note 3721424 to fix the XSS flaw
  • Restrict or disable the ability for authenticated users to create and publish malicious URLs, if such functionality is available
  • Deploy a web application firewall and monitor for reflected XSS attempts to detect and block malicious scripts in real time
