Title
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver ABAP Platform
Summary
Due to a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the SAP NetWeaver ABAP Platform, an unauthenticated attacker could generate a malicious link and make it publicly accessible. If an authenticated user clicks on this link, the injected input is processed during the website�s page generation, resulting in the creation of malicious content. When executed, this content allows the attacker to access or modify information within the victim's browser scope, impacting the confidentiality and integrity�while availability remains unaffected.
