Technical details
The vulnerability is a privilege escalation flaw in the AD Utilities component of Oracle E-Business Suite's Applications DBA product, affecting versions 12.2.3 through 12.2.15. The attack vector is local; an attacker must have low-privilege logon access to the infrastructure where Applications DBA executes (AC:L, PR:L, AV:L). No user interaction is required. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to achieve complete takeover of the Applications DBA system with high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability is easily exploitable and a patch is expected from Oracle's security update process.
