Vulnerability in the PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools component of Oracle PeopleSoft Products (subcomponent: Workflow). Supported versions that are affected are 8.55 and 8.56. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 6.1 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2985 affects Oracle PeopleSoft PeopleTools Workflow in versions 8.55 and 8.56. An unauthenticated attacker with HTTP access could abuse it if they can get another user to interact. The impact is unauthorized reading and modification of some PeopleTools-accessible data, with possible effects beyond the immediate component. Exposure is most likely where PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.55 or 8.56 is reachable over HTTP by untrusted users. Internet-facing portals, partner access, and broadly reachable internal deployments deserve priority review. Treat this as a medium-priority remediation item unless the affected PeopleSoft system is internet-facing or handles sensitive business data. User interaction lowers urgency, but unauthenticated network reachability and data integrity impact make it unsuitable for deferral on exposed systems. Mitigation focus: Review Oracle's July 2018 Critical Patch Update guidance for PeopleTools 8.55 and 8.56.; Apply the applicable Oracle-supported update or patch path for affected PeopleTools systems.; Restrict HTTP access to PeopleSoft endpoints to trusted networks and authenticated users where possible..
