Technical details

This vulnerability resides in the User Interface subcomponent of the Oracle CRM Technical Foundation within Oracle E-Business Suite version 12.1.3. It is classified as an 'easily exploitable' flaw that requires network access via HTTP and user interaction from a person other than the attacker (UI:R). The vulnerability has a 'Scope' impact (S:C), meaning an exploit can affect components beyond the CRM Technical Foundation itself. Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to achieve high confidentiality impact (unauthorized access to all data) and low integrity impact (unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some data). Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
