Technical details

This vulnerability is classified as improper input validation (CWE-20) within the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Partner Management. It is exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP, though it requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker (typically a victim user clicking a malicious link). The vulnerability has a 'Scope' impact, meaning a successful exploit can affect components beyond the immediate Partner Management module. Attackers can achieve unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of data accessible to the Partner Management component. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
