Unspecified vulnerability in the Oracle Application Testing Suite component in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control 12.4.0.2 and 12.5.0.2 allows remote attackers to affect integrity and availability via unknown vectors related to Load Testing for Web Apps. NOTE: the previous information is from the January 2016 CPU. Oracle has not commented on third-party claims that the UploadFileAction servlet allows remote authenticated users to upload and execute arbitrary files via an * (asterisk) character in the fileType parameter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-0491 affects Oracle Application Testing Suite in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control. Oracle described a remote issue affecting integrity and availability. Third-party sources claimed authenticated arbitrary file upload and possible execution, but Oracle did not confirm those details in the bundle. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control with Oracle Application Testing Suite 12.4.0.2 or 12.5.0.2, especially if ATS interfaces are reachable by remote authenticated users. Treat as high priority if affected Oracle ATS versions are present. Public exploit references raise operational risk, but the bundle lacks confirmed active exploitation and complete severity scoring. Mitigation focus: Confirm whether Oracle ATS 12.4.0.2 or 12.5.0.2 is deployed.; Review Oracle January 2016 CPU guidance for vendor-supported fixes.; Restrict ATS and Enterprise Manager access to trusted administrative networks..
