Description
Due to a DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker could generate a malicious link and make it publicly accessible. If an authenticated user accesses this link, client-side code reads the attacker-controlled input and writes it into the DOM without proper sanitization, causing attacker-supplied script to execute in the victim�s browser context. This could allow the attacker to access or modify information within the victim�s browser scope, impacting confidentiality and integrity, while availability remains unaffected.

AI Analysis

Impact

A DOM‑based Cross‑Site Scripting flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious link that, when accessed by an authenticated SAPUI5 user, causes the browser to execute attacker‑supplied script. The code is injected directly into the page’s DOM without sanitization, enabling the attacker to read or modify data stored in the victim’s browser context, thereby compromising confidentiality and integrity of client‑side information. Availability is not affected because the vulnerability does not disrupt the system’s operation.

Affected Systems

The flaw targets SAP SE's SAPUI5 component, specifically the Support Assistant Overlay. No explicit version ranges are provided; impacted installations of SAPUI5 that include this overlay are considered vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity. EPSS information is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to distribute the malicious link and an authenticated user to click it. Because the attack is client‑side, the risk is confined to the victim’s browser session but can still lead to credential theft or data manipulation if the attacker controls enough content.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the SAP security update referenced in SAP Note 3794572.
  • Implement a strict Content Security Policy to restrict script execution on the page.
  • Validate and sanitize all user‑supplied input before rendering it into the DOM to prevent unsanitized script injection.
