Technical details

This vulnerability affects the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Customer Interaction History in Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, and 12.1.3. It is an easily exploitable flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise the system. The attack requires user interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker. The vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning a successful exploit can impact components beyond the immediate Customer Interaction History environment. Attackers can achieve high confidentiality impact and partial integrity impact, resulting in unauthorized access to all accessible data or the ability to update and delete certain records. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.
