SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform vulnerabilities

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Admin Tools) does not perform sufficient authorization checks on certain administrative functionality. An attacker authenticated as a non-administrative user could bypass this restriction to gain limited information about affected functionality.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform stores certain sensitive credentials associated with user objects using a hard-coded cryptographic key. An attacker with high privileges and local access to the server could retrieve these objects and decrypt the stored credentials. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive authentication data and modify protected information, resulting in a high impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no impact on availability.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Web Intelligence) allows a low-privileged attacker to upload a specially crafted spreadsheet file containing malicious external references. When the file is processed as a data source, the affected component resolves these references and exposes the contents of sensitive server-side files within the resulting report. This results in a high impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity and availability.

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform versions 420 and 430 allow an unauthorized attacker who hijacked a user session to bypass the victim's old password via brute force due to unrestricted rate limit for password change functionality.
