Technical details

This vulnerability affects the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Knowledge Management (versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, and 12.1.3). It is classified as an easily exploitable flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the application. The exploit requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R) and has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning the impact can extend beyond the Knowledge Management component to other parts of the Oracle E-Business Suite. Attackers can achieve unauthorized access to critical data and perform unauthorized updates or deletions. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
