Base vector

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence Platform (CMC) versions 4.1, 4.2

Description The issue involves the disclosure of cleartext passwords in responses, potentially leading to information disclosure. This could be exploited through social engineering tactics to gain system access. If an attacker obtains a password, they could gain administrative rights, allowing them to read, modify, or delete data and rights within the system.

Recommendations For version 4.1, update to a version that does not show cleartext passwords in responses to prevent information disclosure. For version 4.2, update to a version that does not show cleartext passwords in responses to prevent information disclosure. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the system to minimize the risk of exploitation through social engineering.
