CVE-2025-23192

Description

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (BI Workspace) allows an attacker to craft and store malicious script within a workspace. When the victim accesses the workspace, the script will execute in their browser enabling the attacker to potentially access sensitive session information, modify or make browser information unavailable.

Proof-of-concept

1. Log in as Super User.
2. Go to the "BI Workspace" and create new Workspace.
3. Add Text Module and write anything.
4. Turn on HTTP Proxy e.g. Burp Suite.
5. Save Workspace and intercept request.
6. Change value of the content parameter inside HTMLNOTE object to:
   <img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>
   You cannot directly input this payload inside textbox because website is encoding characters on client-side and wrapping html inside <p> tag.
7. Submit request.
8. Open workspace from any account.
