Vulnerable      XI R2

SAP Business Objects is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize 
user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the 
context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to 
launch other attacks.

Version XI R2 is known to be vulnerable. Other versions may also be vulnerable. The vulnerability lies in functionality 
related to the InfoView system.

The following proof of concept examples are provided:
