CVE-2023-0025Network attack vector

Cross-site scripting via unsanitized COVER_BY_BSP input

Published Feb 14, 2023 · Updated Mar 21, 2025

Cross-site scripting in SAP Solution Manager 720 allows remote authenticated users to execute script through a crafted COVER_BY_BSP link. The COVER_BY_BSP application fails to sanitize user-controlled input before reflecting it into a rendered page. Exploitation requires an authenticated attacker to prepare the link and a user to click it, enabling script-driven reading or modification of sensitive data and limited service interruption.
