CVE-2020-14745: Vulnerability in the Oracle REST Data Services product of Oracle REST Data Services (component: General).

Vulnerability in the Oracle REST Data Services product of Oracle REST Data Services (component: General). Supported versions that are affected are 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.2, 12.2.0.1, 18c and 19c; Standalone ORDS: prior to 20.2.1. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle REST Data Services. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle REST Data Services accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.3 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw can let a low-privileged HTTP user read some data available through Oracle REST Data Services. It is not described as a full system takeover, but it can expose sensitive information from affected ORDS deployments.

Executive priority

Treat as a medium-priority confidentiality issue. Prioritize externally reachable ORDS services or environments handling sensitive data, but this should not outrank critical unauthenticated or integrity-impacting vulnerabilities without additional exposure evidence.

Technical view

CVE-2020-14745 affects Oracle REST Data Services versions tied to 11.2.0.4, 12.1.0.2, 12.2.0.1, 18c, 19c, and Standalone ORDS before 20.2.1. The CVSS vector is network-accessible, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, with limited confidentiality impact only.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where ORDS is reachable over HTTP and authenticated low-privilege users can access it. Internet-facing, partner-facing, or broadly reachable internal ORDS services deserve priority review.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not indicate known active exploitation, and this CVE is not listed as KEV. Exploitation requires network access over HTTP and low privileges, reducing urgency compared with unauthenticated remote code execution.

Researcher notes

No CWE is listed in the provided bundle. The key limits are PR:L and C:L only; integrity and availability are not impacted in the CVSS vector. Evidence is insufficient to claim exploit availability or active attacks.

Mitigation direction

  • Apply Oracle's October 2020 Critical Patch Update or later vendor guidance.
  • Upgrade Standalone ORDS deployments before 20.2.1 to a fixed supported release.
  • Restrict HTTP access to ORDS to trusted networks where possible.
  • Review low-privilege ORDS accounts and remove unnecessary access.
  • Monitor Oracle advisories for any updated remediation instructions.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory all ORDS deployments and record product and standalone versions.
  • Check whether ORDS is reachable from internet, partner, or broad internal networks.
  • Confirm Oracle CPU October 2020 or later fixes are applied.
  • Review ORDS access controls for low-privilege users.
  • Look for unusual read activity in ORDS and related application logs.
