Technical details

An improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) exists in the Security Framework component of Oracle WebCenter Portal. The flaw is easily exploitable by a low-privileged attacker with network access via HTTPS. Successful exploitation results in a 'scope change' (CVSS S:C), meaning the attacker can move beyond the portal's security boundaries to impact other integrated products. This can lead to a complete takeover of the WebCenter Portal instance, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Affected versions include 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0.
