CVE-2018-3096: Vulnerability in the Oracle Outside In Technology component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Outs...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-3096 affects Oracle Outside In Technology, an SDK used by other software to process content. If an application feeds network-supplied data into the affected filters, a remote unauthenticated attacker could gain access to sensitive data or cause partial service disruption, but a user interaction is required. Exposure is most likely in products or internal applications that embed Oracle Outside In Technology 8.5.3 for file viewing, conversion, indexing, filtering, or attachment processing, especially where HTTP-uploaded or network-received content is handled. Treat as high priority where Outside In Technology processes untrusted files or HTTP-delivered content. The main business risk is sensitive data exposure from document-processing workflows, with some availability risk. Priority is lower where the SDK is absent or only processes trusted local content. Mitigation focus: Review Oracle July 2018 CPU guidance for Outside In Technology.; Identify and update embedded Outside In Technology 8.5.3 components.; Check third-party vendors using Outside In Technology for fixed releases..
