Technical details
A vulnerability in the Oracle Transport Agent subcomponent of Oracle XML Gateway allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. The vulnerability is characterized by a CVSS 3.0 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N, indicating that while it is easily exploitable over the network, it requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to all XML Gateway data and unauthorized modification (update, insert, or delete) of a subset of that data. Due to the 'Scope: Changed' (S:C) nature of the vulnerability, an attack on the XML Gateway may significantly impact additional products within the Oracle E-Business Suite environment. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
