Technical details

A vulnerability in the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Partner Management (Oracle E-Business Suite) allows unauthenticated attackers to compromise the system via HTTP. The vulnerability is characterized by a CVSS:3.0 vector indicating a requirement for user interaction (UI:R) and a scope change (S:C), which is often associated with Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or similar UI-based injection flaws. An attacker can achieve unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of data. While the flaw resides in Partner Management, the scope change suggests it may be used to impact other products within the E-Business Suite environment. Affected versions include 12.1.1-12.1.3 and 12.2.3-12.2.6.
