Summary
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to send crafted requests through the URL parameter that controls the login page error message. This can cause the server to fetch attacker-supplied URLs, resulting in low impact to confidentiality and integrity, and no impact to availability.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit the server to fetch external resources, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches or content manipulation. The organization may be exposed to SSRF attacks.
Recommendation
It is recommended to apply SAP patches and restrict the ability to fetch external URLs. Also validate input parameters.
