Technical details

A vulnerability exists in the Product / Instrument Search subcomponent of Oracle FLEXCUBE Private Banking (versions 2.0.1, 2.2.0, and 12.0.1). The flaw is classified under improper access control and is exploitable via the network over HTTP without authentication. Successful exploitation requires interaction from a user other than the attacker (User Interaction: Required) and features a 'Changed' Scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the FLEXCUBE application itself. Attackers can achieve unauthorized read access to a subset of data and unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some accessible data. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
