## Technical details

This vulnerability affects the Role Summary subcomponent of Oracle Common Applications within the Oracle E-Business Suite. It is an unauthenticated, network-based attack via HTTP that requires user interaction (UI:R) to succeed. The vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning an exploit can impact components beyond the immediate Role Summary subcomponent. Attackers can achieve high confidentiality impact, potentially accessing all data within the application, and low integrity impact, allowing for unauthorized updates or deletions of certain data. Affected versions include 12.1.1 through 12.1.3 and 12.2.3 through 12.2.6. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.

## Affected products

- Oracle Common Applications 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.2.4, 12.2.5, 12.2.6
