CVE-2018-2997: Oracle Corporation Scripting vulnerability

CVE-2018-2997: Vulnerability in the Oracle Scripting component of Oracle E-Business Suite (subcomponent: Script Author).

Vulnerability in the Oracle Scripting component of Oracle E-Business Suite (subcomponent: Script Author). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1, 12.1.2 and 12.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle Scripting. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Scripting, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle Scripting accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Scripting accessible data. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 8.2 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-2997 affects Oracle Scripting in Oracle E-Business Suite. An unauthenticated attacker with HTTP network access could, if a user interaction occurs, access critical Oracle Scripting data and alter some data. The business risk is strongest for organizations still running affected 12.1.x EBS deployments. Exposure is likely limited to Oracle E-Business Suite environments using Oracle Scripting 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3. Risk increases where the relevant HTTP interface is reachable from untrusted networks or broad internal user populations. Treat this as high priority for any remaining EBS 12.1.x Oracle Scripting footprint. The issue can expose critical data and allow some unauthorized data changes, but the provided sources do not establish active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Oracle E-Business Suite instances using Oracle Scripting 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3.; Review Oracle's July 2018 Critical Patch Update guidance and apply vendor-recommended fixes.; Restrict HTTP access to Oracle Scripting to trusted networks where operationally possible..
