CVE-2023-31406Network attack vector

User redirection via insufficient link validation

Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025

Cross-site scripting in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 420 and 430 allows remote attackers to redirect users via a malicious link. The public SAP and CNA records identify insufficient input validation but do not disclose the affected endpoint, parameter, or redirect operation. Exploitation requires a user to follow the attacker-supplied link; redirection exposes that user to an untrusted site with limited confidentiality and integrity impact.
