The SAP Application Interface Framework (Message Dashboard) - versions AIF 703, AIFX 702, S4CORE 101, SAP_BASIS 755, 756, SAP_ABA 75C, 75D, 75E, application allows an Excel formula injection. An authorized attacker can inject arbitrary Excel formulas into fields like the Tooltip of the Custom Hints List. Once the victim opens the downloaded Excel document, the formula will be executed. As a result, an attacker can cause limited impact on the confidentiality and integrity of the application.

Weakness

The product saves user-provided information into a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could be interpreted as a command when the file is opened by a spreadsheet product.
