Technical details

This vulnerability exists in the Core subcomponent of Oracle FLEXCUBE Investor Servicing (versions 12.0.1 through 12.3.0). It is classified as an improper access control issue (CWE-284) that is exploitable over the network via HTTP. An attacker requires low-level privileges and must successfully induce a different user to interact with a malicious link or request (User Interaction: Required). Successful exploitation allows the attacker to gain unauthorized read, update, insert, or delete access to a subset of data. The vulnerability also carries a 'Scope' impact, meaning an exploit could potentially affect components or products beyond the immediate FLEXCUBE environment.
