SAP BusinessObjects Explorer 14.0.5 Cross Site Flashing

SAP BusinessObjects Explorer 14.0.5 suffers from a cross site flashing vulnerability. It is possible to directly load and display the com_businessobjects_polestar_bootstrap.swf Flash file and specify a configUrl. This requires the victim to be logged and the attacker needs to know the /webres/ URL, which is known as soon as the attacker is in possession of valid credentials. The configuration file specified in the configURL parameter may reside on a foreign host. The configuration file itself may contain URLs of further Flash files residing on a foreign domain. If successful, the victim loads foreign Flash files, which leads to Cross Site Flashing.
