------------------------------------------

[Additional Information]
The help pages of SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation is
vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. The help
pages are build out of multiple iframes. The frameset.htm can be
requested with JavaScript code as part of the parameters. The
parameters are written using JavaScript into the "src" attribute of an
"iframe" tag. The JavaScript code reads the URL that is present in the

verify whether a URI is included in the argument. However this filter
can be bypassed.
