Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2023-01-10 04:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 05:24

Severity

10.0 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
6.1 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Summary

Due to improper input sanitization of user-controlled input in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform CMC application - versions 420, and 430, an attacker with basic user-level privileges can modify/upload crystal reports containing a malicious payload. Once these reports are viewable, anyone who opens those reports would be susceptible to stored XSS attacks. As a result of the attack, information maintained in the victim's web browser can be read, modified, and sent to the attacker.
