## Technical details

This vulnerability affects the Resources Module subcomponent of Oracle Common Applications within the Oracle E-Business Suite. It is an unauthenticated, network-based attack vector via HTTP that requires user interaction (UI:R) to succeed. The vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning a successful exploit can impact components beyond the immediate security scope of the Oracle Common Applications. Attackers can achieve unauthorized access to all accessible data (Confidentiality) and perform unauthorized updates, inserts, or deletes on a subset of data (Integrity). Affected versions include 12.1.1-12.1.3 and 12.2.3-12.2.6. 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
