## 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.

## 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
