Technical details

This vulnerability affects the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Knowledge Management within Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, and 12.1.3. It is an unauthenticated, network-based attack delivered via HTTP. The exploit requires human interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker, suggesting a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or similar client-side injection flaw. Successful exploitation has a high impact on confidentiality and a low impact on integrity, with a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning the attack can impact components beyond the Knowledge Management module itself. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.

Affected products
