"[CVE-2024-22129] Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP Companion" within SAP Enable Now.
We advice you to follow the instructions, to resolve
cross-site scripting (xss)
with a
medium potential for exploitation
in component KM-SEN-CMP.
According to SAP Security Advisory team a workaround does not exist. It is advisable to implement the correction as monthly patch process.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is the name of a class of security vulnerabilities that can occur in web-based
applications. XSS combines
all vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to inject HTML Markup and/or JavaScript into the front end of the
affected web application.
XSS attacks can occur whenever the application dynamically creates its HTML/JavaScript/CSS content, which is passed
to the
user's web browser, and attacker-controlled values are used in this process. If these values are included in the
generated code without proper validation and encoding, the attacker is able to include arbitrary
coding snippets into the application's front end. The code is then rendered by the victim's web browser and
interpreted in the victim's current authentication context.
Risk specification
SAP Companion contains a vulnerability in its URL parameter that could be exploited through an XSS attack. An attacker could send a malicious link to a user, potentially allowing the attacker to retrieve sensitive information and compromise the integrity of the web application.Solution
The issue has been resolved in SAP Companion version, where URL parameters are now thoroughly encoded and data is sanitized to prevent any potential XSS attacks.
