Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal - versions 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, 7.50, does not sufficiently encode user-controlled inputs, resulting in reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal versions 7.10-7.50 contain a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to insufficient encoding of user-controlled inputs. An attacker could craft malicious URLs containing JavaScript code that executes in the context of a victim's browser when clicked, potentially stealing session cookies or performing actions on behalf of the user.

MitigationApply available SAP security patches for this vulnerability. As an interim measure, implement output encoding for user-controlled inputs in affected components and configure Content Security Policy headers to mitigate XSS execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal is installed
    Identify the installed product by checking system information, SAP transaction code SPAM, or consulting SAP system landscape documentation. Look for 'SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal' in the installed software inventory.
    Affected if The product is not SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal, then this CVE does not apply.
  2. Determine the installed version of SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal
    Use SAP transaction code SM37 or check the SAP System Landscape Directory (SLD). Alternatively, access the SAP Management Console and locate the Enterprise Portal component version information. Compare the version number against the affected list: 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, or 7.50.
    Affected if The installed version matches exactly one of the following: 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, or 7.50.
  3. Verify the vulnerable web component is exposed
    Identify if the Enterprise Portal web interfaces (portals/irj/portal or similar URL paths) are accessible externally or internally to users. Check the SAP ICM (Internet Communication Manager) configuration for exposed endpoints that handle user input.
    Affected if The portal web component is accessible and accepts user-controlled URL parameters.
  4. Audit for existing output encoding
    Review the SAP Enterprise Portal configuration files and custom developed iViews/portlets for output encoding implementation. Examine HTTP response headers for presence of X-XSS-Protection or Content-Security-Policy headers.
    Affected if No output encoding is implemented on user input handling components and CSP headers are missing or weak.

A user is affected if SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal version 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, or 7.50 is installed and the vulnerable web component that insufficiently encodes user inputs is accessible.

Mitigation

Apply available SAP security patches for this vulnerability. As an interim measure, implement output encoding for user-controlled inputs in affected components and configure Content Security Policy headers to mitigate XSS execution.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal 7.50 or higher (if upgrade path is chosen; newer versions include the fix)

  1. Check SAP Security Notes for CVE-2022-24395 on the SAP Support Portal (launchpad.support.sap.com)
  2. Apply the relevant SAP Security Note patch for this XSS vulnerability
  3. After patching, verify that user-controlled inputs in the Enterprise Portal are properly encoded
  4. Test the fix by attempting to inject malicious scripts into vulnerable input fields to confirm the XSS is mitigated
  5. Ensure the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal system is re-tested for any regression issues
Caveat Review SAP Security Note release notes for any configuration or compatibility considerations before applying the patch
