SAP HANA is a platform for real-time business. It combines database,
data processing, and application platform capabilities in-memory. The
platform provides libraries for predictive, planning, text processing,
spatial, and business analytics.

to trigger XSS techniques and execute more complex attack scenarios.

Implement SAP Security Note 2153898.
