CVE-2022-35172
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 · uneditedSAP 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 confidenceSAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal versions 7.10 through 7.50 contains a reflected XSS vulnerability where user-controlled inputs are not properly encoded, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts via reflected parameters.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal versionCheck the installed SAP NetWeaver version by accessing the SAP System Information page or using transaction code SM37, or check the SAP Software Provisioning Manager for installed componentsAffected if The installed version is 7.10, 7.11, 7.20, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, or 7.50 (the exact versions listed in the affected products)
-
Confirm Enterprise Portal component is runningVerify the SAP Enterprise Portal web application is deployed and accessible by attempting to access the portal URL (typically /irj/portal or /irj/portal)Affected if The Enterprise Portal web component is active and reachable over HTTP/HTTPS
-
Identify reflected parameters in portal URLsAccess common Enterprise Portal entry points such as /irj/portal and navigate through the interface, noting any URL parameters that reflect user input back in the responseAffected if URL parameters are present that echo user input without encoding in the page response
-
Test for XSS vulnerability with benign inputInsert a simple test string such as <script>alert('test')</script> into URL parameters observed in the portal and check if the script executes in the browser responseAffected if The reflected input is rendered without encoding and executes as JavaScript in the browser
You are affected if your SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal version is between 7.10 and 7.50 inclusive and the portal web component is accessible, with unencoded user input reflected in responses.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper output encoding for all user-controlled inputs in the affected portal components and validate/sanitize input parameters to prevent script injection.
