Cross-site scripting in SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence 420 allows remote authenticated users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted link. SAP identifies a URL parameter as the injection point but has not disclosed the parameter, endpoint, or output-encoding failure. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction with the malicious link; the reported consequence is sensitive-information disclosure.
