Regarding https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/2997100

Hi friends,

Any solution available for SAP XXE vulnerbility issue reported in https://userapps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/2997100. We are using CRJ of Exclips version 2016.

in one of our penetration testing we found XXE vulnerability where we are able to inject XML in prptinfo and able to retrieve the server OS files.

"It can be seen that CRVCompositeViewState contains double-URL encoded JSON, where “prptinfo” key exists. This key contains XML string and this XML is prone to the XXE vulnerabilities. During the exploitation, attacker has to make sure that: • Special characters like % and & are double-URL encoded. • Quotes “ are escaped with \ character. In case of error based XXE exploitation, attacker does not need to generate any report (XML will be parsed before report-session checking). In order to exploit this is issue, attacker has to prepare a web server, where “test.dtd” file will be stored."

is this issue fixed in any of the new version?

Thanks

Viswa..

Hi Viswa - the SAP note says this "To solve the issue please apply the Support Package referenced by this SAP Note - 2989075, or use the correction instructions that are attached to this SAP Note."

Did you apply the SAP Note or?

Hello, looking at the SAP note it should not affect CR for Eclipse, it's a XML issue between CR and the BOE Servers.

You can get the latest CR for Eclipse here:

If you find it is an issue then let us know and I'll have R&D look into it.
