Vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Intelligence product of Oracle E-Business Suite (component: DBI Setups). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.1-12.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle E-Business Intelligence. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle E-Business Intelligence, 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 E-Business Intelligence accessible data as well as unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle E-Business Intelligence 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

Plain-English summary

CVE-2020-2840 affects Oracle E-Business Intelligence in Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.1-12.1.3. An unauthenticated network attacker using HTTP could trick a user into interacting, potentially exposing critical BI data and allowing limited data modification. It matters most where older EBS environments remain reachable by users or the internet.

Executive priority

Prioritize remediation for any affected EBS 12.1.x environment handling sensitive business data, especially if user-facing or externally reachable. The issue enables critical data access without attacker authentication, although it requires user interaction and active exploitation is not confirmed in the supplied sources.

Technical view

The vulnerable component is DBI Setups in Oracle E-Business Intelligence. Oracle rates it CVSS 8.2 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, changed scope, high confidentiality impact, and low integrity impact. The source bundle does not identify a CWE.

Likely exposure

Exposure is likely limited to Oracle E-Business Intelligence deployments on Oracle E-Business Suite versions 12.1.1 through 12.1.3. Risk increases if the application is reachable over HTTP by untrusted networks or users. The sources do not identify other affected versions or products.

Exploitation context

The source describes the issue as easily exploitable by an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP, but requiring interaction by another person. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the bundle, and no cited source confirms active exploitation.

Researcher notes

Focus validation on version exposure, DBI Setups presence, HTTP reachability, and patch status from the Oracle April 2020 CPU. Avoid assuming exploit availability; the provided evidence establishes impact and attack conditions but not exploitation in the wild.

Mitigation direction

  • Review Oracle's April 2020 Critical Patch Update guidance for CVE-2020-2840.
  • Patch or upgrade affected Oracle E-Business Suite environments according to Oracle guidance.
  • Restrict HTTP access to EBS/BI interfaces to trusted networks where feasible.
  • Use user-awareness and monitoring controls for suspicious BI-related interaction attempts.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Oracle E-Business Suite instances and identify E-Business Intelligence versions.
  • Confirm whether any deployment runs versions 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3.
  • Check whether affected BI endpoints are reachable over HTTP from untrusted networks.
  • Verify Oracle CPU remediation status in patch records or configuration management.
