CVE-2021-42061

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—

SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform (Web Intelligence) - version 420, does not sufficiently encode user-controlled inputs, resulting in Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This allows a low privileged attacker to retrieve some data from the victim but will never be able to modify the document and publish these modifications to the server. It impacts the "Quick Prompt" workflow.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
