CVE-2023-33988Network attack vector

Reflected XSS via missing browser security headers

Published Jul 11, 2023 · Updated Oct 21, 2024

Cross-site scripting in SAP Enable Now allows remote attackers to disclose or modify information through reflected script injection. The affected WPB_MANAGER 1.0, WPB_MANAGER_CE 10, WPB_MANAGER_HANA 10, and ENABLE_NOW_CONSUMP_DEL 1704 responses omit Content-Security-Policy and X-XSS-Protection headers; SAP has not disclosed the reflecting endpoint or input flow. Exploitation requires a user to load the crafted response, after which script executes in the Enable Now origin and can affect information in that user's session.
