Advisory

On 11.03.2025 a security relevant correction has been released by SAP SE. The manufacturer resolves an issue within SAP Commerce.

SAP Note 3569602 addresses "[CVE-2025-27434] Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SAP Commerce (Swagger UI)" to prevent cross-site scripting (xss) with a high risk for exploitation.

A workaround does exist, according to SAP Security Advisory team. It is advisable to implement the correction as part of maintenance, the team suggests.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is the name of a class of security vulnerabilities that can occur in web-based applications. XSS combines all vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to inject HTML Markup and/or JavaScript into the front end of the affected web application.

XSS attacks can occur whenever the application dynamically creates its HTML/JavaScript/CSS content, which is passed to the user's web browser, and attacker-controlled values are used in this process. If these values are included in the generated code without proper validation and encoding, the attacker is able to include arbitrary coding snippets into the application's front end. The code is then rendered by the victim's web browser and interpreted in the victim's current authentication context.

Risk specification

SAP Commerce (Swagger UI) allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious code from remote sources, resulting in the execution of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Solution

The application now removes the vulnerable DOM element from Swagger UI, preventing the injection and execution of malicious scripts Circumstances exist that prevent the timely installation of a patch provided by the manufacturer. In such cases, you may consider applying the suggested workaround as a temporary or compensating mitigation: "Cross-site scripting/request forgery filter engine on IDS/IPS/firewall systems. Removing any use or blocking access to swagger consoles removes the possibility of this vulnerability being used.".
