## Technical details

This vulnerability affects the Address Book subcomponent of Oracle iStore within Oracle E-Business Suite. It is an easily exploitable flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the application. The attack requires human interaction from a person other than the attacker (User Interaction: Required) and has a 'Changed' Scope, meaning the impact can extend beyond the iStore component to other parts of the E-Business Suite. Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized read access to all iStore data and unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of that data. The vulnerability is addressed in the Oracle Critical Patch Update for January 2017.
