## Technical details

This vulnerability affects the User Interface subcomponent of Oracle Common Applications within the Oracle E-Business Suite. It is an unauthenticated, network-based attack vector via HTTP that requires human interaction (User Interaction: Required) from a person other than the attacker. The vulnerability has a 'Changed' scope (S:C), meaning an exploit can impact components beyond the immediate Oracle Common Applications environment. Successful exploitation can result in unauthorized read access to all accessible data and unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to a subset of data. Oracle addressed this in the January 2017 Critical Patch Update.

## Affected products

- Oracle Common Applications 12.1.1, 12.1.2, 12.1.3, 12.2.3, 12.2.4, 12.2.5, 12.2.6
