CVE-2023-23856Network attack vector

Cross-site scripting via incorrect JSON content type

Published Feb 14, 2023 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

Cross-site scripting in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 430 allows remote authenticated users to alter application content. Web Intelligence DHTML JSP calls return JSON with an incorrect response Content-Type, allowing a custom application to handle the data as executable page content. Exposure requires a custom application that calls the DHTML JSP directly; successful exploitation has a low integrity impact.
