Mitigation direction
- Identify Oracle E-Business Suite instances running Oracle Marketing 12.1.1-12.1.3.
- Review Oracle April 2020 CPU guidance and apply applicable vendor patches.
- Restrict HTTP access to trusted networks, VPNs, or approved application gateways.
- Monitor for unusual Oracle Marketing data access or modification activity.
- Prioritize upgrade planning for unsupported or legacy E-Business Suite deployments.
