Executive brief
A vulnerability exists in the Resources Module of Oracle E-Business Suite's Common Applications component. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive business data or modify existing records. Exploitation requires a legitimate user to perform a specific action, such as clicking a malicious link, and can lead to a significant breach of data confidentiality and integrity across the suite.
Technical details
This vulnerability affects the Resources Module subcomponent of Oracle Common Applications in Oracle E-Business Suite. It is classified as an 'easily exploitable' flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. The attack requires user interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker. The vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning an exploit can impact components beyond the immediate Resources Module. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized read access to all data or unauthorized update/delete access to a subset of data. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
